Nedre Soppero kapell is located on the E45 road, north of the bridge over the Lainio river.

Construction of the chapel began with volunteers from the village in the summer of 1959, and the inauguration took place in October the same year, conducted by vicar Kuno Åberg.

The bell tower was completed in the summer of 1967, and the bell for it, dating from 1895, was donated by Vittangi parish. The inauguration was performed by Bishop Stig Hellsten.
