Can you imagine a chapel being moved? That’s exactly what happened to Sankt Eriks kapell. Right here, in front of us, is a small yellow building with a red roof. It is Sankt Eriks kapell. It was built in 1913 as a funeral chapel for a hospital called Grubbens. The chapel was designed by the architect Albin Patrik Selling. He also designed some residential buildings in Stockholm around the turn of the 20th century. The chapel was once situated further down the street near a hospital in 1913. It was moved in 1994. It was the first time a brick building of this kind was relocated without being demolished first. The chapel was moved to the middle of a park called Grubbensparken. It is surrounded by a small oval-shaped park with modern apartment buildings. Sankt Eriks kapell is today used as a weekday church for the residents of the surrounding neighborhood. The chapel is a cultural heritage site. There is an abstract altarpiece above the altar. It was made by Harriet Ebeling. On either side of the altarpiece, there are two icon paintings. They remind us that a Bulgarian-Orthodox congregation also uses the chapel. The chapel has room for 30 visitors. So, just imagine that this building right here, the little yellow chapel with the gable roof, was moved! It is a unique and special place for the people in the neighborhood. It is a small chapel with a big history.
