Veitastrond Chapel (Norwegian: Veitastrond kapell) is a chapel in Luster Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. It is located in the village of Veitastrond. The chapel is part of the Hafslo parish in the Indre Sogn deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden chapel has 120 seats and was built as a bedehus in 1928. On 14 July 1935, it was consecrate to be used for church functions and received the designation of chapel. Before that time, the villagers had to make the 30-kilometre (19 mi) long trek from their isolated village to Hafslo Church, which was a long and sometimes dangerous journey.[1][2]
