Capel Salem, Methodist chapel in Pwllheli, Wales
Capel Salem is a chapel located at the intersection of Allt Salem Terrace and Lleiniau Uchaf in Pwllheli. The building features a raised gallery, cast iron columns, and wooden paneling on its front with decorative interior elements.
The chapel was built in 1862 by architect Thomas Thomas. After a fire damaged it in 1913, extensive repairs took place and the building reopened in 1915.
This structure shows how important Calvinistic Methodism was to Welsh communities in the 1800s. The building itself tells the story of religious life that once filled these spaces.
The building is now privately owned and used as a residence and pottery studio. Public access may be limited, so it is wise to check ahead before planning a visit.
The interior has an intricate plaster ceiling divided into panels with a central ceiling rose and decorative friezes. These details demonstrate the skilled craftsmanship of Welsh artisans from that period.
