King's College Chapel Tours

King's College Chapel Tours

This is a past event

King's College Chapel opens its doors as part of Aberdeen's Doors Open Day.

On Saturday September 8 King's College Chapel in Old Aberdeen will open its doors to members of the publilc for tours of the historic building.

Tours will commence at 13:00 and 14:30 at the Chapel entrance.

Standing at the centre of Kings College Campus, the Chapel serves as a constant reminder of the University’s foundations in 1495. Its architecture recalls the University’s history with Pre-Reformation furnishings to the Aubertin Organ, installed in 2004 through the wonderful generosity of many donors.

Built by around 1520, it was blown down in 1633 and is one of the only two crown towers in Scotland.

The Chapel offers a beautiful and historic setting for concerts, private reflection, prayer and weddings. The Chapels Crown Tower, initially an acknowledgement of James IV’s support for the foundation of the University, remains one of the most adored, historic and beautiful landmarks of the University.
