Capel Salem, Methodist chapel in Pwllheli, Wales
Located at the intersection of Allt Salem Terrace and Lleiniau Uchaf, this religious building features a raked gallery and ornate cast iron columns supporting a paneled wood frontage.
The chapel, constructed in 1862 by architect Thomas Thomas, closed temporarily after a fire in 1913 and reopened in 1915 following extensive restoration work.
This Grade II listed structure represents the strong presence of Calvinistic Methodism in Wales during the nineteenth century, with seating for 930 worshippers.
In September 2022, potter Keith Brymer Jones purchased the chapel for £200,000 to convert it into a residence, pottery studio, and community space.
The structure includes an intricate plaster ceiling divided into panels, featuring a central ceiling rose and decorative frieze that demonstrate Welsh architectural craftsmanship.
