agree Jonathan MacKerron : "chaplain's chapel" gets about 20 googles

agree Armorel Young : I'd go with that - chaplaincy is usually an abstract noun, referring to the office or position but not to the place

chaplaincy

I am not 100% sure, but I am pretty sure that the term you are looking for is chaplaincy. While all terms are related and stem from the word "capella" (Latin), I beleive that a Kaplanei (chaplaincy) is an institution and not simply a chapel (Kapelle) within a castle. A chaplain is assigned to a chaplaincy to say a prescribed number of masses.

I will look for web evidence...

OK- I think it would be better if you use Terence\'s term because after doing research, chaplaincy only refers to the office and I don\'t think it can be used to describe the building.

agree Robert Schlarb : If Eva is in the chaplaincy all the time, it must be a place: http://www.chap.stir.ac.uk/WHOELSE.HTM
