The present building was constructed between 1789 and 1792 to designs by the architect Jacob Wulff, replacing a decayed medieval timber church that had stood in the northeastern corner of the southern churchyard before being demolished. Sources differ slightly on the exact consecration date, with one giving 1783 and another pointing to completion around 1792; visitors should treat the precise year with some caution.
The church is a stone-built example of the neoclassical hall-church style favoured in Sweden at the time, with a rectangular nave, a three-sided chancel to the east, and a tower to the west. A side annexe houses the sacristy. The overall effect is one of restrained, clean-lined late eighteenth-century design typical of rural Swedish parish churches of the period.
Among the church's furnishings, the font is medieval, predating the current building and surviving from the earlier church on the site. The pulpit was carved in 1791 by the sculptor Jonas Berggren of Målilla, who was also responsible for the altarpiece structure; the painting within it, however, was added later, completed in 1856 by Sven Gustaf Lindblom.
Two funerary shields dating from the fourteenth century are preserved in the church, believed to be associated with the Svinakula family, offering a rare tangible link to the medieval period predating the present structure by several centuries.
The church's organ has been rebuilt and replaced several times over the centuries, including instruments by Jonas Wistenius in the 1730s or 1740s, Olof Schwan in 1813, and later builders into the twentieth century; the current mechanical organ dates from 1969 but retains a façade from the 1813 instrument. A curious point of local history concerns the Meurling family, who reportedly held the parish's clerical office across six generations from the eighteenth century until 1954.
