Froan Chapel
Frøya, NO
The Froan chapel was completed in 1904 and was built because of the long travel time to the church in Sletta on Frøya, almost 30 km away, partly on the open sea. The chapel was built in the Swiss style with a tower, with clear elements of national romanticism and dragon style (Dragestil). The arch above the windows is a copy of the windows of the Urnes Stave church. The baptismal font is made of soapstone and is decorated with ornaments that are copies of the 12th-century ornaments in the north nave of Nidaros Cathedral. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary in 2004, the chapel was restored.
