Gåsvær Chapel (Norwegian: Gåsvær kapell) is a chapel in the municipality of Herøy in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the Gåsvær islands. The church is part of the Herøy parish in the Nord-Helgeland deanery in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The wooden church was built in 1951, and it seats about 100 people. The church is rarely used anymore since no one permanently lives on the island. Currently there is one worship service held at this church each July.[1]
