Merton College Chapel, Gothic church in Oxford, England
The stone chapel features high vaulted ceilings, pointed arches, and large stained glass windows that illuminate the interior with natural light.
Construction of Merton College Chapel began in 1290 to replace a dilapidated church, with the choir and east window completed by 1294.
The chapel maintains daily worship services during academic terms and hosts regular organ recitals featuring the 2013 Dobson organ installation.
Visitors can attend weeknight services at the chapel, which also serves as a venue for concerts, recordings, and special college ceremonies.
Twelve of the fourteen original 13th-century stained glass windows remain intact in the chapel's side walls, displaying medieval craftsmanship.
