The church's stone nave dates from the late twelfth century, making it one of the older buildings in the area, though sources differ slightly on the precise founding date—local tradition cites 1193, while other accounts simply describe an eleventh-century consecration. Over the centuries the building grew in stages: vaults were added in the fifteenth century, along with a tower featuring stepped gables, and a porch was built onto the south side towards the end of the medieval period.
A significant change came in 1872, when the nave was extended eastward with a new, narrower chancel, a sacristy and a small apse, giving the church much of the appearance it has today. This eastward extension is confirmed across sources, though descriptions of the exact additions vary slightly in detail.
Inside, visitors can see an altarpiece dating from 1684, and the windows contain stained glass by Ralph Bergholtz, added in 1951. The current organ was built in 2002 by Karl Nelson Orgelbyggeri, replacing several earlier instruments that had served the church since the mid-nineteenth century.
The churchyard is the resting place of the Swedish poet Gabriel Jönsson, buried alongside his wife Annika.
The building has undergone repeated restoration since the nineteenth century, including a major interior renovation in the 1920s, further work in the 1940s that introduced heating and electric lighting, refacing of the exterior in the late 1970s, and an extensive internal renovation in 1983 that saw old plaster and paint removed and a new brick floor laid.
