Garden Island Naval Chapel, Naval chapel at Garden Island, Sydney, Australia.
The brick and stone naval chapel stands on Garden Island with a two-level structure featuring stone sills, arches, and original timber loft floor.
The building, designed by James Barnet in 1886, transformed from a sail loft into a chapel in 1902 for the Royal Australian Navy.
The chapel contains stained glass windows commemorating the Australian Navy fleet, Women's Royal Australian Naval Service, and significant naval vessels.
The Chapel of Remembrance, located beneath the main chapel, displays plaques dedicated to naval personnel and remains open for regular services.
The markings 'VRI 1887' on the building reference Victoria Regina Imperatrix, while the boat-shaped pulpit reflects its maritime connection.
