Overview
St. George’s Chapel is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and a significant place of worship within Windsor Castle. It's a royal peculiar, meaning it is directly under the control of the monarch rather than a bishop.
The chapel has been the site of royal weddings and funerals, including the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018. It also houses the tombs of many monarchs, including Henry VIII and Charles I.
