Capel Peniel, Nonconformist chapel in Tremadog, United Kingdom.
The stone building features a temple-like design with a cream-painted facade, Tuscan portico, and a round window within its pediment arrangement.
William Madocks initiated the construction of Capel Peniel between 1808 and 1809 during the early development period of Tremadog settlement.
The interior configuration includes numbered box pews, ornate ceiling panels, and a late 19th-century set fawr, reflecting Welsh religious practices.
The chapel contains additional spaces such as a vestry and schoolroom at the back of the building for various community functions.
The classical design elements of the chapel draw inspiration from St Paul's Church in Covent Garden, created by architect Inigo Jones.
