The chapel's origins lie in the long history of organised religious care for the Sámi population of Jämtland and Härjedalen, a process that began in the 1700s with special administrative arrangements, mission schools and travelling catechists tasked with teaching and holding devotions among scattered mountain communities. Dedicated Sámi parishes were formed during this period, though these were eventually dissolved in 1941 when their members were registered instead in the ordinary territorial parishes.
In 1842, residents of Kall, Offerdal and the surrounding districts petitioned the diocesan chapter for funds to build a chapel at Kolåsen. Construction began in 1846 and was completed in 1849. The result is a modest timber building with a tower and an eastern sacristy, its exterior clad in white-painted standing panel boarding, with red doors and tower louvres and a roof covered in black tarred wooden shingles. Inside, the walls are lined with natural-coloured panelling beneath a white ceiling.
Most of the furnishings are notably older than the building itself, having been purchased from Alsen Church. These include a dark-painted pulpit bearing the date 1656, an altarpiece from the 1600s that has since been repainted and now shows some losses and replacements, and a communion rail dated 1757 displaying early rococo detailing. The pews, too, came from Alsen Church and retain grey paintwork with marbled panels.
The chapel underwent a thorough restoration ahead of its centenary in 1949, when it was fitted with heating, repainted, and its older furnishings conserved.
