The medieval timber church was demolished in May 1666, and its replacement, painted red, was consecrated the following year. A medieval stone sacristy survived initially but was later removed during 19th-century rebuilding work overseen by the architect Helgo Zettervall, when a new sacristy was created within the old Ribbing family burial chapel.
Between 1693 and 1695 the church painter Anders Falck, working from Bogesund (now Ulricehamn), covered the walls and ceiling with scenes depicting the biblical story of salvation, from the Creation to the Last Judgement and the heavenly Jerusalem above the altar. Moses and Aaron flank the altarpiece in the chancel, while the Old and New Testaments are illustrated along the south and north walls respectively. The oak pulpit dates from 1670 and was decorated to match by Falck in 1694, though this colour scheme was removed during renovation in the 1880s; visitors are often amused by an inscription on the pulpit stair rail.
A free-standing bell tower was built in 1686 and houses three bells, two of which are thought to be medieval; one bell is still rung by hand on occasion. The sandstone font is believed to date from the 13th century, with a brass basin added around 1600.
A small museum in the former burial chapel holds mementoes connected to Johan Printz, a governor of the short-lived Swedish colony in Delaware during the 17th century, who had family ties to Bottnaryd and is thought to be buried beneath the church's south transept. The museum displays portraits of Printz and his wife, along with model ships recalling the voyage to New Sweden.
A 2013 renovation introduced new furnishings, including an oak and olive-wood altar table with carved symbols of the four evangelists, and created a bright side room known as the Oasis at the rear of the church, along with a children's play area in the north transept. The origin of the date 1663 on the tower's weather vane is uncertain.
