Log Chapel, University of Notre Dame, Historical chapel at University of Notre Dame, Indiana, United States
The Log Chapel stands near St. Mary's Lake on the Notre Dame campus, featuring hand-hewn wooden construction and traditional missionary architecture of the 1830s.
Reverend Stephen Badin constructed the original Log Chapel in 1831 as a mission headquarters for the Potawatomi Indians in northern Indiana.
The chapel holds regular Catholic services and maintains the burial sites of early missionaries who established religious education in northern Indiana.
The chapel opens daily for visitors, serving as both an active place of worship and a historical site for understanding Notre Dame's foundation.
William Arnett, a former slave from Kentucky, built the current 1906 replica using exact measurements and construction methods of the original structure.
