the small wooden chapel of st. olof is situated on top of a stony hill among birches and pine-trees. originally, the chapel was discovered by the antiquarian erik salvén in 1931, when he held a seminar on greek art in lidhult, a small community at the borders of the landscapes halland and småland. there he heard of a wooden church, with decorations and wooden details, built in 1721 and demolished in the late 19th century. the small church had been sold to a farmer in the village of prosteköp and had been rebuilt into a residential house. as the farmer had been thinking of pulling down the old chapel because of its lack of amenities for the elderly couple that lived there, salvén decided to move the church to tylösand with the help of his good friend and priest knut peters. in 1950, the small chapel of st. olof was erected.
