The chapel was built as part of Danvikshem, a home for 400 residents, and was designed by architect Aron Johansson in an Art Nouveau (jugend) style, with dark-stained pine fittings against white plastered walls.
Among its most striking older furnishings are three painted wooden doors, dating from around 1510, which once formed part of two medieval altarpieces. They were discovered in the attic of the old hospital building. Since 1951 the doors have been held on deposit at the Swedish History Museum, so they are not kept at the chapel itself.
The chapel also holds two copies of paintings by the Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens, depicting the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Crucifixion. Various silver items originally from Danvikens Hospital have likewise been deposited at the Swedish History Museum, since 1968.
The organ, built in 1915 by Åkerman & Lund, survives in its original condition and is a notable feature for anyone interested in early twentieth-century Swedish organ-building.
