St. Paul's Chapel

St. Paul’s Chapel at Columbia University provides a venue for hundreds of religious and campus events each year, including worship services, concerts, university and private ceremonies. Visitors come from around the world to see the chapel, one of the first buildings in New York City to be designated as an official historic landmark.

Designed by architect I. N. Phelps Stokes in 1904 as part of the McKim, Mead & White campus plan, the Chapel was fully restored in 2019.

The Chapel is non-denominational, so people of all faiths are welcome to request use of the space.
