An earlier church is said to have stood at Ubbhult long ago, but it was demolished in the early 1600s. As the local population grew during the 1800s, the need for a place of worship increased once again, and a new chapel was built in 1914–1915 to designs by the builders Albin and Carl Wilhelm Gustafsson, with its consecration taking place in 1915.
That wooden chapel had a timber frame, whitewashed panelled exterior walls, and a roof covered with double-curved tiles, topped by a small copper-clad spire above the western ridge. Inside, the walls were lined with pale yellow-painted fibreboard, beneath a panelled ceiling of similar material. The chancel held a pulpit without a sounding board, decorated in 1915 by the Gothenburg painter Thorsten Ohlsson, along with an octagonal wooden font and a fully mechanical organ built in 1962 by Tostareds Kyrkorgelfabrik.
On 18 December 2010, the chapel was completely destroyed by fire. A decision to rebuild was taken soon afterwards, and reconstruction began in the autumn of 2012. The new chapel was designed by the architect Tomas Carlin and was consecrated on 8 December 2013 by Bishop Per Eckerdal, giving the small community of Ubbhult a rebuilt place of worship after a difficult few years.
Visitors today therefore see a building only a decade or so old, standing on a site with a much older history of worship, rebuilding and community resilience.
