History edit
The Elvran area historically belonged to the Lånke Church parish. The road to Lånke was perceived as long and strenuous, and the church there was in poor condition in the early 1890s so demands were made for a church building at Elvran. Local residents made the formal request in 1891 and that was followed by a royal decree in 1892 that authorized the construction of the new chapel. It was consecrated on 22 February 1893. In 1968, a sacristy was built adjacent to the choir.[5]
