The present church was consecrated on 19 June 1836, at a time when the local parish numbered fewer than 900 people. It is a substantial building for its rural setting, with an overall length including tower and sacristy of some 50.5 metres and a tower rising to 31 metres.
Tradition holds that an earlier wooden church was built here by the Norwegian king Sverre Sigurdsson in the late 12th century, following the Battle on the Ice of Storsjön, along with a defensive tower known as a kastal. A stone church is thought to have followed in the 13th century. The ruins of this medieval church and its kastal still survive near the present building, though the early dating rests on tradition rather than firm documentary proof.
Inside, visitors are drawn to four notable furnishings: the altar, the pulpit, the organ, and an older altar dating from the 1600s, which is preserved on the north wall of the nave — a rare survival from the church's medieval predecessor.
The two bells now hung in the current tower are older than the building itself, having originally hung in the kastal beside the old church. The larger bell dates from 1722 and the smaller from 1745; both were cast in Stockholm.
The organ was built in 1839 by Johan Gustaf Ek of Torpshammar, a noted Norrland organ builder, and has 14 stops across one manual and pedal. Aside from two replaced stops, it survives largely in its original form, having been repaired and partly re-voiced in 1887 by the Örebro firm of E. A. Setterquist & Son.
