tripadvisorSo like its giving preppylicous vibe but like at the same time it's giving the conjuring movie so like idk. but like I lvd it
MoreWe arrived on campus on a Friday morning and parked in the recommended parking lot (from the chapel’s website). We were pleased to find plenty of available parking spots. It was then a pleasant walk across the campus to reach the chapel. The chapel’s stained glass was the highlight and contained lots of blue shades with occasional vibrant reds. The style of the stained glass was fairly modern and would be much easier to see on a sunny day (it was cloudy during our visit). There isn’t all that much to see here, and most visitors will only need less than 10 minutes to see everything.
MoreI was with my son-in-law and two granddaughters for a day in Denton and after driving around the Courthouse Square this was an impulse stop. I had read about the Chapel and wasn't sure my family would enjoy it. But we were close... So glad we stopped! We had the place to ourselves which was especially nice. The stained glass windows are wonderful. We all enjoyed our time in the Chapel for different reasons. My youngest granddaughter loved walking around the rock garden next to the Chapel. A lovely visit!
MoreA beautiful break chapel that shoes the historic roots of Denton and the Texas Woman's Normal School (now the Texas Woman's University.) A wonderful chapel for a wedding or other religious ceremony. Very open with good acoustics.
MoreI went because of the architect Mr. O'neil Ford. A famous architect in TX and the Southwest. He designed The Tower of Americas, La Vilata, 26 buildings at Trinity University all in San Antonio and lots more. He grew up in Denton, got an education in Denton and returned to Denton after a very successful career. I was not disappointed!! Charming on the outside and a mini-cathedral inside. Beautiful!!!!!! For weddings...Perfect, soooo nice and intimate with preparation rooms on either side of the pulpit and Easy to find. Right in the shadow of the 2 Towers. Can't miss them. Parking is 100 yards away. During Covid you need an appointment. Worth the stop.
