==History== The island of Lepsøya was given permission to build a small prayer house in 1896. In 1956, the building was renovated and enlarged as part of an upgrade to the status of [[annex chapel]] for the parish. It was [[consecrated]] in 1956. The chapel doesn't have a graveyard at the site, but there is a [[cemetery]] located about {{convert|1.5|km}} to the north that is used by the chapel.<ref name="NK">{{Cite web |title=Lepsøy bedehuskapell |url=https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/more-og-romsdal/lepsoy-bedehuskapell/ |access-date=2021-08-01 |website=Norges-Kirker.no |language=Norwegian}}</ref>
