Located on the western outskirts of Rapid City, South Dakota, the Chapel in the Hills is a full-scale replica of the 12th-century Borgund Stave Church in Norway.

This unique chapel was built in 1969 by a local benefactor of Norwegian descent and is used by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Worship services are held here every evening in the summer.
