Chapel

This Chapel is dedicated to the memory of all POWs and internees who were incarcerated in the area of Changi, from 1942 to 1945. It is a symbolic representation of the many chapels that were built by POWs in Changi.

The Chapel was hand-built using Tembusu wood as a main material of the Chapel. This replica was formerly located beside the Changi Prison and was later transferred and re-consecrated in its current location in February 2001.

Virtual tour are organized according to the layout of the Changi Museum. Please select individual zone.

In the Chapel, stands the altar which holds the Changi Cross. This cross was fashioned out of a spent artillery shell.

It is one of the many tributes that marks the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the POWs incarcerated in Singapore during the Japanese Occupation.

The cross was made by Sgt. Harry Stogden who never made it home and is one of the few original items in the Museum. 

One can also find personal messages and dedications, left on our chapel notice board by visitors, to remember those incarcerated by the Japanese.
