Towering over West Point and the Hudson River stands the impressive protestant Cadet Chapel. Built in 1910 with native granite, it combines the Gothic Revival style with the imposing weight of medieval fortresses. The chapel’s interior is 56 feet high and adorned by stained glass windows representing the biblical heritage of Christianity, with each window given in memory of one of the different graduating classes. The main 50-foot-high window depicts West Point’s motto: “Duty, Honor, Country.”
