A site for a church at Granö was already settled upon around 1750, in what would become the village of Degerfors, but it took a further 204 years before a building actually stood there. In September 1942 the Granöbygdens kapellstiftelse (chapel foundation) was formed to carry the project forward, with services held in the meantime at Granögården, a former school. A plot was bought and building permission granted in the autumn of 1952.
The church was built by master builder Sixten Johansson to designs by the architect Martin Westerberg, and was consecrated on 14 March 1954 by Bishop Bengt Jonzon (sources differ slightly on the spelling of his surname).
The building is a rectangular hall church aligned northwest to southeast, with the tower at the northwest end and a narrower chancel to the southeast. A wing on the southwest side houses parish rooms. Inside, the chancel is raised four steps above the main body of the church, which has a parquet floor and fixed pews. The walls are whitewashed and the wooden ceiling is shaped in a distinctive trefoil form.
Among the church's furnishings is an altarpiece painted by Edgar Wallin. The two church bells were both donated: one by Nils Holmgren of Granö, the other by the Mo och Domsjö company. Local generosity also extended to smaller items — a needlework guild in the parish and gifts from its members contributed a runner and other fittings still associated with the church.
