The present church was built in 1744 as a timber structure clad in wooden shingles, replacing an earlier medieval wooden church that had suffered severe rot. It is single-naved with an eight-sided bulging central section, and rather than a tower it has a separate wooden bell frame standing beside the church. The builder is said to have come from Jönköping county, with a painter from Kronoberg and a woodcarver from Kalmar, reflecting the itinerant craft networks typical of eighteenth-century church building in Småland.
The stone sacristy is the one part of the older medieval church to survive, incorporated into the new building. Inside, the ceiling is decorated with paintings contemporary with the 1744 construction, giving the interior a distinctive painted character above the plain timber walls.
Among the furnishings, a triumphal crucifix dates from medieval times, carried over from the earlier church. The pulpit, from 1626, was bought second-hand from Sankta Gertrud's church in Västervik. A chasuble from 1695, embroidered by Helena Larsdotter of Eksjö, and the altarpiece from 1744 complete the notable inventory.
The church's organ has a layered history: an instrument built in 1710 by Johan Åhrman was moved here from Vimmerby church in 1769, later replaced in 1859 by a mechanical organ built by Johan Gabriel Dahlstedt of Ökna. In the mid-1950s Nils Hammarberg of Gothenburg built the current mechanical organ, reusing the façade of the 1859 instrument.
