St Tugual's Chapel, 11th-century religious chapel in Herm, Channel Islands.

The stone chapel stands on the northern side of Herm island, featuring Norman architectural elements and restored stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes.

Norman monks constructed the chapel around 1001, establishing it on a site that held religious importance since the 6th century.

The chapel's stained glass windows incorporate local elements, including images of Guernsey cows and Herm harbour in biblical narratives.

The non-denominational chapel hosts weekly services during summer months and monthly gatherings in winter, welcoming visitors for ceremonies and quiet reflection.

Archaeological excavations near the chapel revealed 40 ancient skeletons within a 15-square-meter area, with bones dating to the 10th century.
