Lottefors kapell is a small chapel in the village of Lottefors, in Bollnäs municipality, Gävleborg County. It belongs to the Church of Sweden's Bollnäs parish, within the Diocese of Uppsala, and occupies an unusual home inside a former manor house.



The chapel is unusual in that its worship space occupies the upper floor of a manor house, rather than a purpose-built church structure. The building originally stood at the Lottefors ironworks (Lottefors bruk) before being relocated to its present site in 1931.

The chapel was consecrated on the first Sunday of Advent in 1931 by Dean (domprost) Gustaf Lizell. Archbishop Nathan Söderblom, a notable figure in the Church of Sweden, had died only half a year earlier, a detail sometimes mentioned alongside the chapel's founding though it is not directly connected to the building itself.

A free-standing bell tower was added in 1949, funded with financial support from Bollnäs parish, while the bell itself came from a private donation.

Inside, visitors can see a cylindrical pulpit standing to the left of the altar. As of a 1990 survey of organs in the Diocese of Uppsala, the chapel's instrument was recorded as a harmonium, though its current status is not confirmed.
