Skivsjö kapell is a small wooden chapel in the village of Skivsjö, in Vindeln parish in northern Sweden's Västerbotten. Consecrated in 1943, it belongs to the Skivsjöbygdens kapellstiftelse and is used by various Christian denominations rather than a single congregation.



The chapel was built in 1943 to designs by the architect Sven Sandström. It is a modest timber building with a rectangular nave running north to south, its exterior clad in vertical wooden panelling beneath a tiled roof.

Inside, the chapel keeps a simple, rustic character, with a wooden floor and fixed pews arranged for a small congregation. The flat ceiling is lined with white panels, giving the interior a plain, light feel typical of many rural Swedish chapels of the period.

The altarpiece was created by Evert Larsson, who was also responsible for the chapel's overall colour scheme, giving the interior a coherent, locally crafted appearance.

A freestanding bell tower with a shingle-covered spire stands to the east of the chapel, a common feature of Swedish wooden chapels where a separate structure houses the bell rather than a tower attached to the main building.
