Italian Chapel (exterior)
This listed building is the ornately decorated Italian Chapel, built on Lamb Holm, Orkney, by Italian PoWs conscripted to the construction of the nearby Churchill Barriers to the east of Scapa Flow during WW2. The chapel is formed of two nissen huts joined end-to-end and lined and decorated using leftover materials from the barrier building work, tin cans and other scavenged materials.
