The chapel belongs to the Ribbing family and stands next to Boo herrgård (manor house). Its predecessor, a 17th-century chapel, was burned down during the Russian raids on the Swedish coast in 1719.
The present building was designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, then owner of Boo gård, who also funded its construction. It was inaugurated in 1724 and built in a restrained Caroline style, with horizontal timber walls arranged in a cross plan, a porch in the south transept and a sacristy to the north. Surviving drawings suggest Tessin originally intended a grander structure, but cost led to a simpler timber building with panelling and a shingle roof, later replaced by sheet metal.
Inside, large windows and painted decoration give the space a light, airy character. The walls are marbled — painted to imitate stone — and the pews, fitted with small doors, seat around 75 people. Unusually, the pulpit stands above the altar, a so-called pulpit-altar arrangement; above it hangs an oil painting from the early 1700s depicting the Crucifixion.//The chapel's organ has an interesting history: an original instrument was built in 1853 by Carl Gustaf Cederlund, and the present pneumatic organ, incorporating an early example of tube-pneumatic action in Swedish organ building, was installed in 1893 by the Lundahl organ works of Stockholm, reusing the earlier façade.
Outside, an open, trestle-form bell tower dating from around 1740 houses two 18th-century bells that are still said to be rung by hand. A newer cemetery, consecrated in 1912, lies a short distance away on the far side of the water.
