Royal Chapel of St Katherine-upon-the-Hoe, Grade II listed church on Plymouth Hoe, England.

The Royal Chapel of St Katherine stands within the Royal Citadel, featuring a symmetrical cross layout with galleries and transepts added in 1845.

Initially licensed for services in 1371, the chapel underwent reconstruction between 1666 and 1671, replacing its original structure with the current nave and chancel.

The chapel functions as a garrison church for the Royal Artillery and 29 Commando, maintaining regular military ceremonies and religious services throughout the year.

Located at coordinates 50.364° N and 4.1375° W, the chapel offers guided tours and remains an active place of worship within Plymouth's Royal Citadel.

King George V designated this religious building as a Royal Chapel during his visit to the Royal Citadel in 1927, elevating its status among British churches.
