History
Oppegård chapel is located deep in the forest in southern Løten municipality, a little southeast of the large lake Rokosjøen. It is a single-storey wooden house with a choir. The building was 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]
