The present church was built in 1865, when the older building — a grey-stone structure dating from the early medieval period, possibly the 1100s or 1200s and following the Romanesque tradition typical of the time — was demolished. The old church was considered too small for the congregation, which had grown to include estate workers from nearby Torsjö manor. A carved figure of Christ from the earlier medieval building survives and is kept in the current church, offering a tangible link to the site's older history.
The churchyard contains the graves of several notable individuals connected to Solberga's past. Among them is a self-taught clockmaker and bell-founder, Ola Larsson, who founded the well-known Ohlsson bell foundry in Ystad. In his eighties, Larsson took part in recasting the great bell of Storkyrkan in Stockholm, along with numerous other church bells across Sweden, work for which he was awarded a gold medal by the Patriotic Society — a reproduction of which decorates his gravestone. Other burials include several prominent clergymen and a man associated with introducing foreign plants to the local area.
The church's mechanical organ dates from 1866 and was built by Johan Lambert Larsson of Ystad. It has been altered and restored several times since, most recently in 1972.
