The chapel was consecrated in 1927. Local villagers donated both the timber and the land for the building, and its foundation was built from granite quarried from a nearby hill — a modest, community-built structure rather than a grand parish church.
A striking episode in its history occurred on 27 May 2000, when the chapel was destroyed by arson, reportedly set by a group of satanists. The building was rebuilt quickly and reconsecrated on 13 May 2001, meaning much of what visitors see today reflects this early twenty-first century reconstruction rather than the original 1927 fabric.
The interior is light in tone, with fittings made by local artists following the rebuilding. The altarpiece, created by Eva Spångberg, depicts Jesus with a gathering of figures at his feet — children, older people, women, men and individuals of varied nationalities, intended to reflect a wide human community. The older pulpit and font were restored and retained after the fire.
The chapel seats around ninety people, underlining its intimate, local character. An earlier electric organ with a single manual has since been replaced by a new instrument donated by Höreda parish.
