The church was built under master builder Johan Georg Reincke, who also constructed the main house at Värmlands Säby, and was consecrated on 21 September 1777 by Bishop Daniel Herweghr. It stands a short distance north of the site of the earlier timber church, which dated back to the late 1300s or early 1400s and was eventually demolished as unfit for use. The stone church's rendered exterior is painted pink, a colour later investigations confirmed to be original, having been covered over and restored at various points before being reinstated in 1975.
Inside, the church has a broad, single-vaulted interior built in Gustavian style, with its tower placed unusually on the north side rather than the west end, and the sacristy attached just to its east. The vaulted ceiling and general plan owe much to a restoration carried out in 1911 under architect Axel Lindegren, when the interior was repainted and the floor and pews renewed. Further renovation followed in the 1960s under architect Ragnar Jonsson, when the exterior walls were replastered.
Several older fittings survive from the medieval wooden church that once stood nearby. These include a carved altarpiece from 1707 by Börje Löfman, a Baroque pulpit dated 1691 by Bengt Svensson of Kristinehamn, and two bridal pews from the early eighteenth century. A wooden altar cabinet attributed to the so-called Visnum Master dates from the late 1400s, and a small carved madonna figure is thought to date from the late twelfth century, said to be among the oldest such figures in Värmland.
The church holds two bells, a smaller one cast in 1699 and a larger one from 1791, both surviving from the earlier building or its associated bell tower. The current organ was built in 1927 by E A Setterquist & Son of Örebro, replacing an earlier instrument by the same firm's founder from 1869.
