The chapel was built in 1895 at the request of sawmill workers, who had asked their employer, the Kramfors company, for a church of their own. Designed by architect Albert Thurdin, it was consecrated in December 1895 and built between the workers' barrack-like housing. A local newspaper of the time reportedly praised its dominant position and the wide views towards the river and surrounding Norrland landscape.
As a timber building in Neo-Gothic style, the chapel reflects the modest but decorative church architecture common for workers' communities attached to industrial sites in this period.
When the SCA sawmill closed in 1977, ownership passed to Kramfors municipality, and there was reportedly a plan at one point to demolish the building. In 1993 the chapel was instead bought by Gudmundrå parish from the municipality for a symbolic sum, on condition that it be restored; the restoration was carried out in 1995. In earlier years the building was also used for confirmation classes and Sunday school.
Today the chapel is mainly used during the summer months for concerts, devotional services, baptisms and weddings, continuing its long association with community life in Kramfors.
