===Types of chapel===

*A [[bridge chapel]] is a small place of Christian worship, built either on, or immediately adjacent to, a road bridge; they were commonly established during pre-Reformation mediaeval era in Europe.
*A [[castle chapel]], in European architecture, is a chapel built within a castle.
*A [[parecclesion]] or parakklesion is a type of side chapel found in Byzantine architecture.
*A [[capilla abierta]] (open chapel) is one of the most distinct Mexican church construction forms, mostly built in the 16th century during the early colonial period.
*A [[proprietary chapel]] is one that originally belonged to a private individual. In the 19th century they were common, often being built to cope with urbanisation. Frequently they were established by evangelical philanthropists with a vision of spreading Christianity in cities whose needs could no longer be met by the parishes. Some functioned more privately, with a wealthy person building a chapel so that they could invite their favorite preachers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.churchsociety.org/aboutus/managed/Properties_StJamesChurch.htm |title=Church Society - About - Our Work - St James' Church |access-date=2008-10-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509160507/http://www.churchsociety.org/aboutus/managed/Properties_StJamesChurch.htm |archive-date=9 May 2008 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> They are anomalies in the English ecclesiastical law, having no parish area, but being permitted to have an Anglican clergyman licensed there. Historically many Anglican churches were proprietary chapels. Over the years they have often been converted into normal parishes.
*A [[court chapel]] is a chapel as a musical ensemble associated with a royal or noble court. Most of these are royal (court) chapels, but when the ruler of the court is not a king, the more generic "court chapel" is used, for instance for an imperial court.
* A [[royal chapel]] is a chapel associated with a [[monarch]], a [[royal court]], or in a [[royal palace]].
