Description

King's College Chapel is one of the finest examples of English Gothic architecture in the world.

It marvels at the world's largest fan vault, designed by John Wastell and completed in just three years (1512-1515).

The twelve huge stained glass windows, made by Flemish craftsmen between 1515 and 1531, are among the most beautiful in the world.

The Renaissance choir partition, erected between 1532 and 1536, is considered one of the finest works of Italian decoration in England.

avatarChula Rodrigo3 weeks agoKing’s College Chapel is a breathtaking masterpiece of Gothic architecture and one of the most iconic landmarks in Cambridge. With its soaring fan-vaulted ceiling—the largest of its kind in the world—and stunning stained-glass windows, the chapel creates an atmosphere of awe and reverence. Visitors are often struck by the serene beauty and historical richness of the space. Commissioned by King Henry VI in the 15th century, the chapel has witnessed centuries of history and royal influence. Its grand organ and regular choral services, especially those by the King’s College Choir, add a deeply moving auditory experience to the visit. Whether you’re drawn by the architecture, the music, or the legacy, King’s College Chapel is a must-see for anyone exploring Cambridge.
avatarMiranda Ballin the last weekMy children and I visited from the States. We really enjoyed our visit to the King's College. It was absolutely beautiful.
avatarCulture Geek Travels2 months agoVisited for organ recital and evensong which is a good way to visit a chapel and spend some quiet time to admire the architecture. Both exterior and interior are stunning. There is no charge to visit a chapel if you come for church service. Otherwise the college has quite pricey sightseeing ticket.
