Puuehitisena oli Kassaris kabel olemas juba 16. sajandi esimesel poolel, aga praegune kivikirik rajati 18. sajandil.
Kassari kabel on ainuke tegutsev kivikirik Eestis, millel on rannaroost katus. Kabelis ei ole elektrit ja kõik jumalateenistused ja üritused toimuvad veel tänapäevalgi küünlavalgel.
Kabelit ümbritseb vaikne kabeliaed, kuhu on maetud näiteks Marie Underi ja Debora Vaarandi esivanemad ning ka Köleri maalidel Kristuse prototüübiks olnud Kassari mõisavalitseja Villem Tamm. Lisaks saab kabeliaias näha ka Stackelbergide mõisaperekonna marmorist hauatähiseid.
Aare ootab kabeliaias, koguduse vara või hauatähiseid lähemalt katsuda ei ole vaja.

As a wood construction, Kassari chapel already existed in the first half of the 16th century, however the current stone building is built during the 18th century.
Kassari chapel is the only stone church in Estonia which is still in use and has a reed roof. The building has no electricity and thus, all the services and events take place in candlelight.
The chapel is surrounded by a quiet graveyard - the last resting place for grandparents of some well-known Estonian authors and Villem Tamm - a prototype model of Christ in Johann Köler's paintings. The graveyard also features marble monuments for the Stackelberg family who were local landlords during the 18-19th century.
The cache awaits in the chapel yard, there is no need to touch the graves/tombstones or church assets.
