The church was raised in 1971 close to an urn grove that had been inaugurated in 1964, on the western edge of the Lesjöfors community. It was designed by the architect Åke Sjöman and built with a log timber frame, giving it the character of a simple chapel rather than a grand parish church.
The building consists of a rectangular nave with a straight-ended chancel to the east and an attached sacristy, placed to the north or northeast according to differing accounts. The exterior walls are boarded and painted red, a familiar look for Swedish timber buildings of this kind. Inside, the floor is laid with varnished boards, the walls are lined with brown-stained timber, and the roof is carried on laminated timber trusses beneath a tredingstak (a traditional three-part timber ceiling form).
The chancel furnishings, including the altar, altar rail, font and pulpit, are all made of pine in a plain, modern style, giving the interior a restrained, contemporary feel that contrasts with older Swedish parish churches. A small chancel organ with ten stops, built by the German firm Aug. Laukhuff of Weikersheim and constructed under Swedish organ builder Gunnar Carlsson of Borlänge, serves the church.
One of the more distinctive features for visitors is the textile altar ornament on the chancel wall, created by the textile artist Alma Hådell, adding a handcrafted note to an otherwise austere modern interior.
