Fröseke kapell is a small wooden chapel in Fröseke, in the Swedish province of Kronoberg, belonging to Älghult parish within the Diocese of Växjö. Built in 1939, it remains a popular venue for weddings and christenings, alongside regular parish services.



Plans to raise funds for a chapel in Fröseke began as early as 1908, though building work did not start until 1938. The chapel was designed by the architect Paul Boberg and constructed in timber, measuring 24 metres in length and eight metres wide. It was consecrated on Midsummer's Day 1939 by Bishop Yngve Brilioth.

The building follows a simple plan typical of Swedish rural chapels of the period, with a nave and a straight-ended chancel to the east, and a sacristy attached on the chancel's north side. The most distinctive external feature is the western tower above the main entrance, topped with a helm-shaped roof and a small onion dome with a spire.

Inside, the altarpiece and the decorative paintings on the pulpit were created by the artist Torsten Hjelm, giving the interior a coherent artistic character from its construction period.

The chapel's organ was built in 1965 by Västbo Orgelbyggeri and is a small mechanical instrument. Modest in scale, it nonetheless serves the chapel's musical needs for services and ceremonies.
