The chapel was originally the handicraft (woodwork) room of the local school in Konga. The idea of converting it into a place of worship came from the then vicar of Södra Sandsjö, Nils Nicklason, and around a hundred volunteers took part in the conversion work. The chapel was consecrated in 1969. It is a timber building, painted the traditional Swedish red, and its exterior has changed little since then.
Inside, the chapel consists of a whitewashed hall with a chancel wall to the north and a small sacristy behind it, with the entrance on the south-east side. On the north wall, wooden reliefs by the artist Eva Spångberg depict a scene from the carpenter's workshop in Nazareth, showing Joseph with his saw, Mary in prayer, and the young Jesus holding out a plank of wood — a fitting image for a chapel built from a carpentry room.
The chapel's fittings continue this theme of craft and reuse. The altar is a former planing bench from the school woodwork room, and the font is made from the workshop's old chopping block, its copper basin cast using a mould originally made for the spire finials of Växjö Cathedral. Eva Spångberg also created a crucifix in bog oak and a sculpture group on the chancel wall, while a further sculpture near the font is by Stig Klingberg. The lectern is formed from a few roughly sawn planks, and the chapel seats around fifty people in linked chairs.
A freestanding bell tower was erected in 1974. Its bell carries an image of St Birgitta together with words from one of her prayers, reinforcing the chapel's quiet, devotional character.
