Beautiful Lombard-Romanesque Chapel was completed in 1928. The chapel is 160 feet long and 58 feet wide and has a ceiling height of 50 feet. You can spend an hour inside and not see everything. Outside is also beautiful. Everything is well maintained, including the grounds.

I have lived in Houston all of my life and I had the wonderful experience to visit Villa De Matel. What a true blessing to have such a beautiful place in our great city.

Right out of a movie.

Quiet, beautiful grounds with many places for meditating. The main house if you can get invited in is antiques and right out of a movie. The chapel is in the same must see category of the Rothko, the Byzantine and St. Basils. If you can attend an event at the chapel or on the grounds; do!
