The chapel was built in 1939 to designs by the architect Ove Leijonhufvud, funded as a gift by Helge Axelsson Johnson, a royal master of the hunt from Berga Slott in Västerhaninge. It was consecrated on 10 December 1939 by Bishop Gustaf Aulén. The building has a timber frame resting on a tall concrete base that contains a cellar, with a small porch at the western end. The exterior walls are clad in white-painted vertical panelling, and the roof, originally covered in slate, has been finished in double-folded copper sheeting since 1959.
On a rocky outcrop north of the chapel stands an open-framed bell tower, whose bell was donated by a local church dean and his wife.
Inside, the altarpiece was painted and donated by the archipelago painter Axel Sjöberg, giving the chapel a strong connection to the surrounding seascape. The font was given to the chapel in 1953 by the neighbouring Torö parish congregation. Two votive ships hang in the chapel interior, a traditional maritime offering found in many Swedish coastal churches, reflecting the seafaring life of the island community. A large oil painting, donated by the artist Rolf Mellström, hangs to the left within the chapel room.
