The Old Cadet Chapel at the United States Military Academy is a church and location of funeral and memorial services. It is the oldest chapel at West Point, having originally been built in 1836.[1] The chapel was originally located in the cadet area near present-day Grant Hall, but was deconstructed brick-by-brick and moved to the West Point Cemetery when the Cadet Chapel opened in 1910. Lutheran services are held at the old chapel on Sunday mornings during the school year.
