On the shore of Gråträsket lies the chapel that conveys a feeling of bygone times. The chapel was built in 1934 on the site of the old chapel. Gråträsk's chapel is a church building in Gråträsk that belongs to the Piteå parish in the Luleå diocese. The chapel has knotty timbered walls and a steep chipboard-clad roof that is crowned by an onion-shaped spire. On the south side there is an armory and on the north side a sacristy.

The original chapel was built in 1645-49. The builder was the Lapp bailiff Olof Jonsson, Piteå. The current building is a reconstruction from 1934, based on drawings by architect Sven Brandel. The builder was Evert Granberg, Gråträsk.

The interior was designed by E. Leffler and the interior painting was done by conservator Fridthiof Erichsson. North of the chapel there is a free-standing bell tower from 1938
