The building that houses the chapel was originally constructed as a residence in the early 1900s. During the 1940s it served an unusual purpose as a women's prison establishment. The chapel itself was added alongside the main building in 1981, on the initiative of the Swedish Association of the Visually Impaired (Kristna Synskadades Förening), reflecting the site's later use as a retreat and gathering place. The property was acquired by Värmdö parish in 1991.
Architecturally the chapel is simple and unassuming: a timber-framed structure with exterior walls clad in yellow-painted horizontal panelling and a roof covered in red tiles. Inside, the worship space features a brown coffered ceiling of the type known as a tredingstak, a traditional Swedish timber ceiling construction. A freestanding wooden bell tower by the shore was consecrated in 1998.
Among the chapel's few furnishings is a wooden altar cross dating from 1995, made by Yngve Jägbeck. The chapel also has a small mechanical organ built in 1982 by Birger Forsberg of Uppsala, later supplemented by an electric organ installed in 1996.
