Gåsvær Chapel (Norwegian: Gåsvær kapell) is a chapel of the Church of Norway in Herøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the Gåsvær islands. It is an annex chapel in the Herøy parish which is part of the Nord-Helgeland prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 1951 by the architect Peder Stavnes. The chapel seats about 100 people.[1]
The church is rarely used anymore since no one permanently lives on the island. Currently there is one worship service held at this church each July when vacationers are visiting the island.
