Palatine chapel - Definition

A palatine chapel is any chapel that serves a palace.

A particularly notable example, sometimes referred simply as "the Palatine Chapel", is the chapel of Charlemagne's winter palace at Aachen, now part of Aachen Cathedral. It is the city's major landmark, and is the reason the French call the city Aix-la-Chapelle.
