Tvärskogs kapell

Denomination

Associated diocese
Diocese of Lund

Tvärskogs kapell is a modest 20th-century chapel in Tyringe, part of the Church of Sweden's Tyringe parish in the Diocese of Lund. It stands in what was once the old village of Tvärskog, now within eastern Tyringe.



The chapel was built in 1934 on a cast foundation, with a saddle roof covered in single-curved red tile. Its exterior walls are now clad in mexitegel, a type of textured brick tile, though this cladding is thought to date from the 1970s rather than the original construction.

A freestanding wooden bell tower stands to the east of the chapel, a simple structure typical of Swedish rural churches of this scale. To the northeast is a further building, also added in the 1970s, which houses a mortuary and caretaker's facilities and shares the same mexitegel cladding as the chapel itself.

Inside, the chapel has a mechanical organ built by the Danish firm I Starup & Søn of Copenhagen. Its modest specification, including a Gedakt and a Principal among its stops, reflects the chapel's function as a small parish building rather than a grand ecclesiastical showpiece.
