Skorovatn Chapel
Skorovatn Chapel (Norwegian: Skorovatn kapell) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Namsskogan municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the old mining village of Skorovatn. It is one of three churches for the Namsskogan parish which is part of the Namdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The brown, wooden church with a red roof was built in a long church style in 1965 by the architect Arne Aursand. The church seats about 170 people.[1][2]

The local mine closed in 1984, so since then, there are only a few residents left in the area, so the chapel is not used as regularly as it used to. It is also occasionally used for concerts.[3]
