The present building is thought to be at least the third church on this site, with the first possibly dating from the late 11th century. A subsequent stone church was reportedly burned down by raiders from Hälsingland on 3 July 1563 during an incursion into Härjedalen. A replacement was completed in 1612 and repaired several times during the 18th century. As the local population grew, plans for a larger church were made in the 1820s, though building work did not begin until 1845, when master builder Jacob Norin of Norrala in Hälsingland demolished the older church and erected the current one on the same spot. The church was renovated again in 1929–1935 and 1978–1979.
Despite the rebuilding, a notable number of furnishings from earlier churches survive inside. These include an altar cabinet from 1623, said to have been brought back as war booty from Central Europe, and a pulpit dated 1649. A woollen chasuble of Norwegian origin from the 15th century has also been preserved, along with a rich collection of textiles.
The altarpiece is a copy of the one in Kungsholm Church in Stockholm, while the chancel windows, depicting the washing of the feet and the conversion of Paul, were installed in 1933. The church bell is recorded as having been cast in Stockholm in 1683 by Michel Bader, and the organ dates from 1974, with a façade from 1863.
