Added 2025-04-09 16:00:42 +0000 UTCSt George's Chapel is a collegiate church in Windsor Castle in Great Britain. The building, constructed from light-coloured sandstone, is considered one of the main works of the Perpendicular Style. This refers to a "perpendicular style" or rectilinear style, an architectural style of the late Gothic period typical of England and neighbouring areas. The chapel was founded in the 13th century under Henry III. It is the final resting place for numerous members of the royal family. Most recently for Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip.
The free-standing, towerless St George's Chapel dominates the Lower Ward of Windsor Castle. Although it officially only has the status of a chapel, at 237 feet (around 72 metres) long it is the size of some cathedrals. The exterior is characterised by the large windows and the richly decorated buttresses. Unfortunately, just like Windsor Castle, it was not possible to take any photos inside. Kisses 😘
