Built in the early 1930s, the tower of Duke Chapel soars 210 feet (65 meters) into the sky. James B. Duke, founder of the chapel, felt that its presence would influence the spiritual lives of Duke students. Fine ornamentation, stained glass and four beautifully crafted organs, including a Flentrop or "Bach's organ," draw thousands of admirers each year. The superior acoustics showcase the moving a cappella hymns of the choir beautifully.

Just this side of heaven
With the new parking garage behind Duke's Bryan Center (at the end of Science Dr.), it's never been easier to enjoy the wonders of Duke Chapel.
Amazing
Absolutely nothing else like it anywhere in the state. Be sure to go at 5:00 to hear the carrilloneur play the bells.
Excellence for all to see
Even the non religious will enjoy this site. See the pipe organ and beautiful wood carving of the lecturn and pulpit.
