St Michael's Chapel, Lancaster Moor Hospital, Gothic chapel in Lancaster Moor Hospital, England

St Michael's Chapel stands within Lancaster Moor Hospital complex, featuring pointed arches, stone carvings, and high vaulted ceilings in Gothic style architecture.

The chapel, designed by Edward Graham Paley, was constructed in 1866 as part of Lancaster County Lunatic Asylum, which opened its doors in 1816.

The chapel provided religious services and spiritual support to over 3,000 patients and staff members during the hospital's operational years until 1991.

The Grade II listed building has been converted into residential apartments while maintaining its original architectural elements and historical character.

Patient records and medical equipment remained scattered throughout the building after its closure, documenting the final days of this mental health institution.
