The name S:ta Anna kapell recalls a wooden chapel built in the late fifteenth century on the site where the present stone church now stands. That earlier building has long since disappeared, but its dedication to Saint Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary, was carried forward when the parish house was given its own chapel centuries later.
S:ta Annagården itself was inaugurated in November 1978, and the chapel within it followed some two decades later, consecrated in February 1999 by a local church dean. Though modest in scale, the chapel was furnished as a coherent, purpose-designed space rather than a simple side room, with its altar and seating created specifically for it.
The altar and chairs were designed by Lars Olof Torstensson, with the altar table dated to 1999. The chairs are made of whitewashed birch with artificial leather upholstery chosen to match the altar's tone, giving the interior a restrained, unified appearance.
Two works by the artist Thomas Qvarsebo, both from 1999, are of particular interest to visitors: a leaded-glass cross depicting the Resurrection, and a small bronze sculpture known as "Farkost" (Vessel), placed to the left of the altar. The chancel carpet, woven by Sylvie Hägg to a design by Anne-Marie Elvius, was originally given to Lidingö church in 1980 before later being moved into the chapel.
The chapel continues to serve the parish for morning prayers, devotions, masses, baptisms and weddings, functioning as an intimate counterpart to the larger parish church nearby.
