Saint Olaf's chapel (Byxelkrok)

Saint Olaf's chapel in Byxelkrok, on the island of Öland, Sweden, was built in 1976.

The modernist design is by Anders Berglund.

[1] The chapel is in Böda socken in the Diocese of Växjö, and is one of three 20th century churches on the island.

[2] Another Saint Olaf's chapel on the island, on the small shoal island called Lilla grundet on the Grankullaviken bay, is in ruins, with only a small elevation left as evidence.

[3] The chapel and its cemetery are mentioned in a 1515 list from the Diocese of Linköping; possibly stones from the chapel were used to build Långe Erik, the lighthouse on the neighboring island, Stora grundet.
