The present church stands where an earlier church once stood, believed by some accounts to date from the 1100s or possibly the 1200s–1400s. That older building was extended over the centuries, including the addition of a stone tower in 1794, before being demolished in 1895–96 once the new church had been consecrated. A grassed mound about 50 metres northwest of the current building marks its former site.
Designed by Sven Gratz and built in 1893–94, the church is a striking example of Gothic Revival style, constructed from unrendered granite with brick used internally. Its west tower carries a tall spire braced by substantial buttresses, while the nave is lit by four large pointed-arch windows framed in pale brick. A major restoration in 1951 addressed damp problems caused by the original building method, and at that time several older furnishings were reinstated after decades in storage at what was then Hallands konstmuseum.
Several notable fittings link the church to its medieval predecessor. A triumphal crucifix dating from the 1400s hangs above the font altar, and the altarpiece, carved with acanthus decoration in 1701 by the sculptor Gustaf Kihlman, was also brought back from storage during the 1951 restoration. The pulpit, in a plain Renaissance style, bears a signature dated 1598 attributed to Holger målare (Holger the painter). Communion vessels dating from the 1500s are said to have been carried over from the old church from the very beginning.
Other items of interest include a font carved in 1952 from Ignaberga limestone by Christoph Keppner, in a deliberately medieval style, and a set of three paintings by Erik Olson added to the altar rail in 1953. The church bells date from 1831 and 1894. The organ has a layered history: an instrument built in 1854 was replaced in 1894, and in 1956 a new electropneumatic organ was built behind the earlier case, incorporating much of the older pipework.
