Gribbylunds kapell is a modest chapel serving Täby parish, near Stockholm. Originally built as an alliance chapel, it was transferred to the Church of Sweden and refurbished under architect Uno Söderberg, reopening in September 1990.



The chapel, largely resembling a large timber villa, was first inaugurated in 1937 as an alliance (interdenominational) chapel. In 1985 it was taken over by Täby parish, and a substantial renovation followed under the architect Uno Söderberg, who also designed an adjoining parish hall. The building stands on a poured concrete foundation with a timber frame, white-painted panelled exterior walls and a tiled saddle roof, topped with a small copper cross on the eastern gable.

Inside, the chapel is oriented east–west, with the entrance to the east and the chancel to the west. The chancel wall curves inward to form a shallow apse, where Söderberg created a wooden relief that he himself described as a crucifix. Within it, visitors can make out the shape of the cross and a crown of thorns, with five small golden circles representing the wounds of Christ.

The font, standing at the back of the church room, is a striking violet-coloured piece with four angled legs supporting an octagonal bowl, set into a niche originally intended for a stove. The altar and other fittings were also designed by Söderberg, giving the interior a coherent, architect-led character from the 1990 refurbishment.

A freestanding bell tower east of the chapel was added in 1993. The current organ, with five stops, was built in 2018 by the Dutch organ builder Henk Klop in a style inspired by Baroque tonal ideals; an earlier organ from 1990 was later given to a Catholic church in Enköping.
