Construction began in 1971 and the church was consecrated in 1974, a project made possible by villagers who donated timber, labour and money, and by the purchase of a plot of land. It was built under the direction of architect Jan Thurfjell.
The building is a rectangular wooden structure with a metal-clad saddle roof, its exterior walls covered in vertical, yellow-painted timber panelling. An entrance section and an adjoining assembly hall, both with shallower roof pitches, are joined to the main body of the church. Inside, timber floors and pews are complemented by panelled walls and ceiling, the ceiling treated with a green-blue stain and the beams finished in brown. A folding wall separates the church hall from the assembly room, and when opened it allows the two spaces to be combined into one larger area.
One of the more unusual features is the free-standing bell tower beside the church, supported by iron beams salvaged from a dismantled suspension bridge that once crossed the Lainio river — a distinctive link between the building and the local landscape it replaced.
Among the church's furnishings is an altar crucifix designed by the artist Allan Wallberg. The organ was built by the Grönlund organ workshop and was a gift from S:t Görans parish in Stockholm.
