Battell Chapel, University chapel at Yale University, New Haven, United States.
The brownstone chapel features Ohio sandstone decorative elements, oak paneling, and a coffered ceiling painted blue with gold leaf accents.
Constructed between 1874 and 1876 with funds from Joseph Battell, the chapel served as a mandatory prayer space for Yale students until 1926.
The chapel displays symbols of the Greek Cross and Trinity Shield on its walls, reflecting Yale's connection to Congregational religious traditions.
The building functions as both a religious space for University Church services and a concert venue for New Haven area musical ensembles.
The chapel contains memorial windows designed by Russell Sturgis that honor Yale's early benefactors and presidents around the name of Elihu Yale.
