The church was built in 1907–1908 on the initiative of Wilhelm Tham, director of the Husqvarna arms factory (Husqvarna Vapenfabrik), and designed by Birger Damstedt, the factory's own building architect. It was handed over as a gift to the then market town on 26 November 1908, though its formal consecration did not take place until June 1910, the year before Huskvarna became a city.
Before the church was built, the local congregation had worshipped in a converted gunpowder store at the factory, which had itself previously served as a schoolhouse. Residents of Huskvarna had until then belonged to the parish of Hakarp, and it is recorded that children born in 1907 could be entered in the parish registers of either Hakarp or Huskvarna.
Architecturally, the church was built in a National Romantic style deliberately echoing Norwegian stave churches, though using horizontal timber construction rather than the vertical staves typical of that tradition. The building cost 43,743 kronor, a substantial part of which — 25,000 kronor — was donated personally by Wilhelm Tham, using money he had received from the factory as a gift on his 25th anniversary as its director. Workers from the factory itself carried out the construction according to Damstedt's designs.
Inside, visitors can see a copper font designed by architect Göran Pauli and made in 1930, a triumphal crucifix by the sculptor C. O. Aven, a triptych depicting the Resurrection painted in 1946 by Edward Berggren, and a pulpit carved in 1930 by Osse Osbäck. The church retains an open pew arrangement typical of many Swedish parish interiors of the period.
The original organ, built in 1915 by Åkerman & Lund, was later replaced; the present organ dates from 1969 and was built by the Danish firm Bruno Christensen & Sönner, along with a smaller mechanical choir organ from the same year.
