The church has stone origins dating to the latter half of the 1200s. Its medieval sacristy was enlarged in 1752, and in 1766 the nave was extended westwards; at this time the original medieval timber vaulting was replaced with a wooden barrel vault. It is thought that a medieval timber porch on the south side was demolished during these works, with the main entrance then relocated to the newly built west gable.
Among the church's furnishings is a crucifix dating from the 15th century, a striking survival from the building's medieval past. The altarpiece, painted in 1805 by Pehr Hörberg, depicts Christ blessing the children, while its frame, together with the pulpit and altar rail, was carved by the sculptor Anders Malmström and his sons.
The sandstone font was donated to the church in 1950; it was carved at the Thappers stonemasonry works in Motala to designs by the artist Stig Abrahamsson.
The church has had a series of organs, beginning with an instrument built in 1794 by Pehr Schiörlin of Linköping, followed by later organs and rebuildings during the 20th century, the most recent a mechanical organ built in 1971.
The chemist Torbern Bergman is buried in a mausoleum in the churchyard, a notable resting place for visitors interested in Swedish scientific history.
