The church was built in 1884 to designs by the architect Gustaf Dahl. Parishioners themselves carried out much of the construction work, assisted by the ironworks owner and captain J M Ekströmer, reflecting the close involvement of the local community in the building's creation.
The interior consists of a nave and an open chancel, separated by a rounded Romanesque-style arch reminiscent of medieval church architecture, giving the otherwise simple building a distinctive focal feature.
A thorough restoration between 1963 and 1964 returned much of the church to its original appearance, suggesting that later alterations had at some point altered its early character.
Among the furnishings is a font of grey Öland limestone, donated to the church in 1964 and designed by the sculptor Eric Sand of Strängnäs. Other notable fittings, including a lectern, a processional cross and a Paschal candlestick, were made by the wood artist Allan Lindholm of Oskarshamn. A large woven carpet on the chancel floor, designed by the Kalmar artist Ann-Mari Holke, adds a further handcrafted local touch.
The tower bells are said to date from the fifteenth century, considerably predating the current building, which points to either an earlier church on the site or bells brought in from elsewhere. The church organ, originally built in 1885 by Åkerman & Lund of Stockholm, was rebuilt by the same firm in 1949 as a pneumatic instrument.
