Pershagens kapell is a modest twentieth-century chapel serving Södertälje parish, set among villa housing in Pershagen, Södermanland. Though small and unassuming, it has a clear architectural character and a building history tied to local land donation.



The chapel stands on a wooded slope in the centre of Pershagen, close to surrounding residential housing. It was designed by the architect Martin Westerberg and consecrated in 1936, its construction made possible by a donation of the building plot in 1931 from Henrik Hallström, then owner of the nearby Bränninge estate.

Architecturally, the chapel resembles a large villa rather than a traditional church. It has a rectangular plan with a narrower, straight-ended eastern section forming the chancel. The one-and-a-half storey building sits on a tall stone-faced basement level, which houses parish rooms. The remaining walls are of panelled timber beneath a tiled saddle roof.

The main entrance is reached by an external staircase on the south side, leading into a vestibule in the western part of the building, where a parish hall and kitchen are located. A staircase leads up to a small dwelling on the upper floor. The eastern part of the building contains the worship space itself, which rises through the full height of the structure beneath a raised, panelled ceiling.

An earlier harmonium was once used for music in the chapel. The present organ, a mechanical instrument, was built in 1971 by the Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri workshop of Gammelstad.
