Heinz Memorial Chapel, Gothic Revival chapel at University of Pittsburgh, United States.
The Heinz Memorial Chapel stands 41 meters tall with stone walls, featuring 23 stained glass windows containing 250,000 pieces of colored glass and intricate carvings.
Construction occurred between 1933 and 1938 as a gift from Henry John Heinz to commemorate his mother Anna Margaretha Heinz, becoming part of the University of Pittsburgh.
The stained glass windows illustrate figures from religion, literature, and science, including representations of Charlemagne, Sir Isaac Newton, and Emily Dickinson.
The chapel opens Sunday through Thursday from 10 AM to 4 PM, offering guided tours and serving as a venue for weddings, concerts, and religious services.
The Aeolian-Skinner organ underwent modifications by the Reuter Organ Company in the 1990s to expand its musical range and technical capabilities.
