Hergot Chapel (Norwegian: Hergot kapell) is a chapel of the Church of Norway in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Hergot. It is an annex chapel in the Narvik parish which is part of the Ofoten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 2005 to replace the old Straumsnes Chapel in nearby Straumsnes.[1][2]
History
A chapel was built in Straumsnes in 1927 to serve the people living around the Rombaken fjord. In 2005, a new chapel was built in Hergot, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to the northeast, to replace the old chapel in Straumsnes. The new chapel is located at the site of the local cemetery.
