Oset Chapel
History
A small wooden single-storey house that was moved here in 1875 and used as a school. In 1885, a choir was added onto the building according to drawings by a man named Søborg. Afterwards, the building was consecrated as a chapel. The building continued to be used as both a school and a chapel until 1918 when the school was closed. During this time, the choir was closed off from the rest of the building for school and other non-church activities. The chapel is located near the northern shore of the lake Rokosjøen and there is a camping facility bordering the chapel on three sides of its property. A few kilometers further south is the old Rokoberget Church ruins. The medieval church was closed long before the new chapel was opened at this location.
