King's College Chapel, located in Aberdeen, Scotland, is a historic chapel that serves as the main chapel for the University of Aberdeen. Built in the late 15th century, it features a Crown Tower that has become an iconic symbol of the university. The chapel is dedicated to the Trinity and the Blessed Virgin Mary, and its interior includes choir stalls and a rood screen dating back to around 1509, making it one of the most complete medieval church interiors in Scotland. Additionally, the chapel serves as a war memorial, commemorating students who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
