The chapel was consecrated in 1878, fulfilling a long-held wish among local people. As early as 1850 there had been proposals for a church in the wooded Veinge countryside, since residents felt the journey to Veinge church itself was too far. The design was drawn up by Ludvig Hedin at the Office of the Överintendenten, and the building was constructed of stone with a roof of tarred wooden shingles. The cost came to around 12,000 kronor, supplemented by hundreds of days of unpaid labour contributed by local people.
Over the following decades the chapel was gradually altered and improved. A church organ was installed in 1890, and in 1938 a vaulted ceiling was built and new pews were made. A sacristy was added on the north side in 1948, alongside a substantial restoration. The original wooden floor was replaced with limestone flags in 1951, and the interior and exterior were renovated again as recently as 2011, when the pews were repainted.
Inside, visitors can see a pulpit decorated with paintings by Erik Olson of Halmstad, and an altarpiece depicting the Last Supper, painted directly onto the wall in 1949 by Erik Abrahamson of Stockholm. Of the three chandeliers hanging in the chapel, one was donated in 1906, while the other two are thought to be older. The wooden font is of unknown date, though its basin was added in 1912, and a Mora clock in the chapel dates from the early nineteenth century. The bell was cast in Stockholm in 1878 by Johan A. Beckman & Co.
The mechanical organ was originally built in 1890 by Johannes Andersson of Långaryd, with later rebuilding work carried out in 1969 and again in the 1990s. It remains a modest instrument with a handful of stops shared between manual and pedal, incorporating some older pipework.
