The Duke Chapel is a 210-foot tower, with neo-Gothic architecture in English style. The Chapel houses 3 pipe organs. The most important one, the Flentrop Organ (Benjamin N. Duke Memorial Organ), rises above the entrance to the nave, spectacular in its height and design. It was designed and constructed to have the features of early 18th-century north European organs (from around the time of Johann Sebastian Bach), and it was installed in 1976. The Flentrop organ is used mainly for processionals, recessionals, hymns, and voluntaries at worship services and university events. It also is featured in a free series of Sunday-afternoon recitals by organists from around the world (http://www.chapel.duke.edu/home).
