Isolated chapel becomes too popular

A tiny “peace” chapel that has stood on an uninhabited Scottish island since the Second World War is going to be placed under fulltime guard after being plagued by break-ins and vandalism. The ornate Roman Catholic chapel on Lamb Holm was built by Italian prisoners of war in 1943 and is one of the top visitor attractions in the Orkney Islands. Comprised of two Quonset huts, the Italian Chapel, as it’s known, has an altar fashioned out of scrap metal and plasterboard and is described as a “powerful symbol of peace and devotion from a time of global conflict.”
