Husby Chapel (Norwegian: Husby kapell) is a chapel in the municipality of Nesna in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Husby on the southern shore of the island of Tomma. The church is part of the Nesna parish in the Nord-Helgeland deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.[1]
The white, wooden chapel was built in 1905 as a private farm chapel for the Husby Estate. It was consecrated on 2 June 1905 as part of the Dønnes parish and had 4 worship services each year.[2] It was transferred to Nesna parish in 1962, and since 2005, it has six regularly scheduled worship services each year in addition to special events such as weddings or funerals.
