The chapel stands within the Högbergsfältet nature reserve, an area historically associated with mining. Although the adjoining churchyard was established as early as 1852, the chapel itself was not built until the 1940s, apparently consecrated in 1944. A freestanding bell tower on the same site predates the chapel by some years, having been erected in 1929.
The building's design is said to be inspired by a mine headframe, or gruvlave, a nod to the mining landscape that surrounds it and to the industrial history of Persberg. This gives the chapel a distinctive silhouette compared with more conventional Swedish parish churches.
Inside, the altarpiece was painted by Karin Fryxell. The chapel also houses what is described as the smallest organ in the parish, built by the organ-building firm of Anders Persson in Nyhamnsläge. It is a small instrument with a single manual and four stops, and is said to be nearly identical to another organ in Björkakyrkan in Ödåkra, apart from lacking a pedal keyboard. A charming detail is the pair of small hand-operated shutters above the music stand, which can be opened and closed to reveal or conceal the pipework.
