It is located in the village of [Oppegård](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oppeg%C3%A5rd,_L%C3%B8ten&action=edit&redlink=1). It is one of the [annex chapels](/source/Annex_chapel) for the Løten [parish](/source/Parish) which is part of the [Hamar domprosti](/source/Hamar_domprosti) ([deanery](/source/Deanery)) in the [Diocese of Hamar](/source/Diocese_of_Hamar).

## History

Oppegård chapel is located deep in the forest in southern Løten municipality, a little southeast of the large lake [Rokosjøen](/source/Rokosj%C3%B8en). It is a single-storey wooden house with a [choir](/source/Choir_(architecture)). The building was [consecrated](/source/Consecrated) for church use in 1886. The chapel was also used as a schoolhouse from 1886 until 1919. A divider was used to close off the choir when the rest of the building was used for school or other non-church purposes. The building was restored in 1986.[2][3]
