Storvreta kapell is a modest twentieth-century church building in Storvreta, part of Ärentuna parish within Vattholma pastorate in the Diocese of Uppsala. Together with an adjoining, more recently built church hall, it forms the parish's main place of worship a few miles north of Uppsala.



The chapel was designed by architect Rolf Bergh and consecrated on 9 September 1979 by the dean, Clarence Nilsson. It forms part of a larger complex that also houses the parish house and the offices of Vattholma pastorate, with the chapel itself entered through the parish house.

Architecturally, the chapel is notable for its circular plan and steeply pitched roof, clad in zinc sheeting. Inside and out, the walls are finished in limewash, and the floor is laid with ceramic tiles. A folding wall on the western side allows the worship space to be opened up into a larger assembly hall, reflecting the building's dual role as both chapel and community space.

Several furnishings inside the chapel were made and donated by Karl-Erik Pettersson, including the altar, lectern, font, two stools and a set of eight kneelers that can be arranged into a communion rail. The church silver — communion vessels, paten, wafer box and a jug — was designed by Eric Löfman and produced by Markströms of Uppsala, while four sets of vestments and altar textiles were supplied by Birgitta Hollmer, also of Uppsala. An electronic organ by the Dutch maker Johannus, acquired in 1993, stands near the sacristy entrance.

According to Wikipedia, a decision was taken in 2023 to build a new, larger church hall alongside the existing complex, seating around 200 people. This was reportedly completed and inaugurated on Whit Sunday 2024 by Bishop Karin Johannesson of Uppsala, described there as the first newly built Church of Sweden church in nearly a decade. New furnishings said to have been added at that time include an organ, a Bible donated by the Swedish Bible Society, a vase given by a local free church, and a church bell cast in Norway, though these later developments are not covered by the parish's own account and visitors should treat the details with some caution.
