The church was built in 1868 and consecrated in October 1869, replacing three older churches serving the parishes of Hyringa, Längnum and Malma. The medieval churches at Längnum and Malma were demolished once the new shared church was ready, having been built at a site where the three parishes met after lengthy negotiation between the communities.
The building was designed by architect Johan Adolf Hawerman and built by master builder Peter Anders Pettersson, in a style poised between neoclassicism and neo-Gothic. The pointed spire and multi-sided apse recall medieval models, while the nave is built of stone with a slate roof and the tower is clad in copper. An inscription over the tower door records the building date of 1868, and a stone plaque over the south entrance carries a short dedication.
The interior was substantially remodelled in a major 1952 restoration under Ärland Noréen, when the single hall-like church room was divided into three aisles by new pillars along the side walls, a new ceiling was installed, the furnishings were replaced and the colour scheme altered. The altarpiece dates from this period and was painted by E. G. Hildebrand. Further restorations followed, inside in 1993 and outside in 1995–1996.
Among the older furnishings are two Romanesque font bowls carved from sandstone, dated to the 12th century, and a chandelier and church silver that were originally given to Hyringa church in 1717. The church bears two bells, both rescued from the old Malma church: the smaller bell dates from the mid-14th century and carries a runic inscription naming its founder, Haquinus, while the larger bell is dated 1772.
The organ, built in 1971 by Smedmans Orgelbyggeri, stands on the west gallery. Its façade, partly still sounding, survives from an earlier organ built in 1885 by Salomon Molander.
