**Felle Chapel** (Norwegian: *Felle kapell*) is a [parish church](/source/Parish_church) of the [Church of Norway](/source/Church_of_Norway) in [Nissedal Municipality](/source/Nissedal_Municipality) in [Telemark](/source/Telemark) county, [Norway](/source/Norway). It is located in the village of [Felle](/source/Felle,_Norway). It is one of the churches for the Nissedal [parish](/source/Parish) which is part of the [Øvre Telemark prosti](/source/%C3%98vre_Telemark_prosti) ([deanery](/source/Deanery)) in the [Diocese of Agder og Telemark](/source/Diocese_of_Agder_og_Telemark).

## History

A new cemetery in Felle was established in 1880 to serve the residents of the Felle area. After a flood in 1968, the small tool shed on the site was destroyed. Afterwards, the parish made plans to build a new burial chapel on the site. The new chapel was opened in December of 1970. The new building proved to be popular and the local residents wanted to hold church services there, so about a year later the building was [consecrated](/source/Consecrated) for church services on 3 October 1971.[3][4]
