The church was constructed in 1986–1987 to designs by architects Gösta Erikson (also spelled Eriksson in some sources) and Bengt Linder. During building work it was discovered that the ground was too soft, requiring additional reinforcement. The completed church was consecrated on 30 January 1988 by Bishop Martin Lönnebo. It has a round plan, with the chancel to the east and a porch and entrance to the west; a freestanding steel bell tower stands near the main entrance.
The circular interior was designed with a distinctive acoustic in mind: the sloping walls are said to give a reverberation time well suited to choral singing, and the space can hold around 180 people, with room for a further 75 if the porch doors are opened. The floor is laid in planed Öland limestone, and the font is carved from red Jämtland limestone.
Above or near the altar hangs a bronze figure of the risen Christ by sculptor Liss Eriksson, cast in Paris; accounts differ slightly as to whether this is a large sculptural figure or described as a simpler crucifix, but both agree on the sculptor and material. A processional crucifix with the same motif, its shaft made of paudouk wood from Burma, is also attributed to Eriksson, whose work is said to draw on Pasolini's cinematic depiction of Christ.//The sacristy contains an altarpiece painted by Erik Olson of the Halmstad Group, combining several biblical motifs including the crucifixion, loaves and fishes, Veronica's veil, the flames of Pentecost, and the Star of David. Two sculptures of the Virgin Mary, one showing her sheltering cloak and the other a pietà, were created by Kajsa Mattas of Stockholm.
Other furnishings include liturgical textiles by Sten Kauppi inspired by the Book of Revelation, communion silver and candlesticks by Lars Håkansson of Malmö, and a bell cast at the Olsson foundry in Ystad, said to carry an inscription composed by the poet Bo Setterlind. The mechanical organ, with 14 stops, was built by the Danish firm Marcussen & Søn and inaugurated on 23 September 1990.
