  The Cadet Chapel is a famous landmark and symbol of religious activities of the Military Academy and was designed by the renowned firm of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson. Dedicated in 1910 and constructed of native granite, this building blends naturally into the surrounding landscape. The architecture combines the techniques and shapes of Gothic with the massiveness of medieval fortresses. This architectural theme subsequently dominated the other construction at West Point. The Cadet Chapel organ (M.P. Moeller,) begun in 1911 and enlarged by memorial gifts is now the largest church organ in the world. Concerts are given throughout the year. The stained glass windows have been executed by the Willet Studios of Philadelphia. The great Sanctuary Window, inscribed with the words of the motto of the Academy, "Duty, Honor, Country," was the first to be installed. All of the side windows are memorial windows given over time by various classes. The first pew features silver plates engraved with the signatures of previous Superintendents. Among them are the names of Generals MacArthur, Taylor, and Westmoreland. Services in the Cadet Chapel are conducted for Protestant members of the Corps of Cadets, the faculty and the public. Services are at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday. It is open daily from 8:15 a.m. till 4:15 p.m.

Wikipedia Description: West Point Cadet Chapel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cadet Chapel at the United States Military Academy is a place of Protestant denomination worship for many members of the United States Corps of Cadets. The chapel is a classic example of gothic revival architecture, with its cross-shaped floor plan, soaring arches, and ornate stone carvings. It hosts the largest chapel pipe organ in the world, which consists of 23,511 individual pipes. The Cadet Chapel dominates the skyline and sets the architectural mood of the academy. Designed by architect Bertram Goodhue and completed in 1910, the neogothic Cadet Chapel replaced the Old Cadet Chapel which had been built in 1836. The Old Cadet Chapel was deconstructed and relocated to the entrance of the West Point Cemetery, where it stands today.
