The chapel has an unusual history: it was not built on this site but originated in 1894 as a private estate chapel at Vartofta gård in Västergötland. In 1914 it was dismantled, transported by train, and re-erected at Hagaberg, where it was reinaugurated on 26 July that year.
Since the move, the building has gained several furnishings connected to the folk high school community. The pews were a gift from Södertälje parish in the 1950s, while the bell tower was donated by former pupils in 1960 to mark the school's fiftieth anniversary. An appliqué work above the altar was created by the artist Barbro Strömgren and given by the school's alumni association.
A distinctive lighting feature known as the Ljusbäraren (Light Bearer) was installed for the chapel's centenary in 1994, on Thanksgiving Day, a joint gift from Östertälje parish, the local EFS mission society and the folk high school; it was made at a smithy in nearby Järna.
The chapel's small mechanical organ was moved here in 1962 from Eskilstuna Missionskyrka, having been built in the 1950s by the Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri workshop in Gammelstad.
Today the chapel is used mainly for activities run by the local EFS association and the folk high school, with services held according to the Church of Sweden order.
