The church was built in 1665 by fishermen from Gävle. It is 8.5 metre long by 7 metres wide. The chapell in Barsta was painted in 1699 by Roland Johansson Öberg, the same painter who painted the Ulvön chapel. The chapel is tared. It was used during winter to hang the fishing gears while not in use.
Barsta is not very well connected with the cities along the Högakusten. It would take more than 4 hours from Härnosand using public transport...
The approach to Barsta guest pier is straight forward. Twenty-five guest places with basic facilities. Depth ranges from 1.4 to 4 metres.
