Work on the church began early in the spring of 1924, with the digging of the foundations carried out largely by volunteers from the local community. The foundation itself was consecrated on 1 June that year by the rector Fellström of Skellefteå. Building continued over the following eighteen months, and the church was completed at the turn of 1925 into 1926, at a total cost of 110,000 kronor. It was formally consecrated on Epiphany 1926. The architect responsible for the design was Knut Nordenskjöld.
The church consists of a rectangular nave aligned north-east to south-west, with a narrower chancel at the south-western end. At the north-eastern end stands a tower topped by an ornate lantern, featuring an onion dome, a larger central spire and four smaller spires at its corners. Both the nave and chancel are covered by hipped roofs clad in red tile, the nave's roof rising notably higher than that of the chancel.
Among the church's furnishings is a chancel window, donated in 1925 by Karl Bergmark, depicting the shepherds' adoration on the first Christmas night. The current altarpiece, by Torsten Nordberg, dates from 1952 and replaced an earlier altarpiece from 1925, which was subsequently moved to the tower chamber, where it may still be seen. The church's organ, built by Grönlunds Orgelbyggeri, was installed in 1970, replacing the original instrument from 1925.
The church has undergone several renovations over the decades, the most recent recorded in 1987, and today seats around 250 people.
