Whispers of history echo around Silverdalskapellet. It’s a place where time seems to stand still. Silverdalskapellet isn’t just a chapel. It’s a testament to Sollentuna’s rich past, consecrated in 1969 by Bishop Helge Ljungberg. The chapel’s raw concrete walls and timber ceiling create a unique atmosphere. The pews, clad in leather, rest upon a floor of Öland limestone. This design blends simplicity with elegance. Above the Carrara marble altar hangs a sun cross. This symbol connects to the Uppland cross, a pre-Christian symbol adopted by Christianity. Silverdalskapellet holds a special place in the community. During the construction of Kummelby’s new church, it served as the primary place of worship. The artistic details within Silverdalskapellet are captivating. Architect Ralph Alton designed the interior. Artist Jan Brazda crafted the artistic embellishments. The space feels surprisingly large and bright despite its modest size. The pyramidal shape of the sanctuary wall, framed by stained glass windows, draws the eye upwards. Large windows on the east wall seamlessly blend the interior with the surrounding nature. Outside, a golden gate welcomes visitors. A metal ship in a reflecting pool sits at the entrance, adding a touch of whimsy. This sculpture, inaugurated in 1979, is a collaborative work of Lage Knape and metalsmith Gunnar Bengtsson. Silverdalskapellet’s story continues to unfold, a quiet sanctuary amidst the bustle of life.
