The parish and its church are first recorded in 1312, when a small medieval wooden chapel served the community. That building was demolished in May 1665 to make way for the present church, thought to have been completed the following year. When the church was restored in 1904, workers discovered old foundation stones beneath the floor, confirming the earlier building's location. Fragments of the medieval chapel also survive, including painted boards from the 1400s depicting Adam and Eve and two bishops; these are now divided between Västergötland Museum and the church loft.
The current church is constructed of horizontal timber, later clad with wooden shingles, and consists of a nave with a chancel to the east, a sacristy on the north side and a porch to the south. A freestanding bell tower stands to the west. Local tradition holds that the Soop family, owners of the nearby Svaneberg estate, contributed significantly to the cost of building the church, though this is not firmly documented.
Inside, the flat ceiling is decorated with a painted sky scattered with small dark clouds, while drapery-style painting frames the altarpiece, pulpit and windows. The altarpiece, showing the Crucifixion flanked by the Virgin Mary and the apostle John, was created by Anders Schmaltz in 1690. The Baroque pulpit, with its canopy dating from 1689, is attributed to the Läckö-based artists Georg Baselaque and Anders Siöman.
Among the church's older furnishings is a processional crucifix believed to date from the 13th century, notably small in scale, along with fragments of a medieval saint's cabinet kept in the sacristy. The stone font was carved during the 17th century. The church's large bell is late medieval and bears no inscription, only a plain band around its neck bordered by two ridges, a detail that has intrigued bell historians.
