Ankarede kapell, Church building in Strömsund Municipality, Sweden

The wooden Ankarede kapell features white exterior panels, a spire tower, and a saddle roof covered with wooden shingles at coordinates 64.8176628, 14.2387806.

The construction of the current chapel took place between 1895 and 1896, replacing an earlier prayer house that served the area since 1802.

The chapel serves as a gathering place during Midsummer celebrations when Sami church festivities occur for three consecutive days with traditional activities.

The chapel belongs to the Frostviken parish in the Diocese of Härnösand and maintains both church cottages and traditional Sami huts for visitor accommodation.

The altar piece depicts Jesus calming the storm, while the pulpit displays emblems from the Frostviken Sami association, reflecting the local cultural integration.
