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,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=American Theatre Organ Society )〕 which consists of 23,511 individual pipes.〔Poughkeepsie Journal, (2003).
