The church was constructed between 1892 and 1895 to designs by the architect Ludwig Peterson, replacing earlier, more modest plans for a simple chapel. Discussions about building a place of worship in the area had begun as far back as 1859, but progress was repeatedly delayed by disputes over funding arrangements between clergy stipends and a building fund, and later by disagreement over the chosen site. It was only after a mining company donated the land free of charge that construction could proceed at pace.
The finished building is notable for the variety of materials brought together in its construction: brick from Arboga and Köping, sandstone dressings from Yxhult in Närke, a granite plinth quarried from the shores of Lake Råsvalen, and lime from Larsbo. Inside, six slender sandstone pillars from Orsa support the vaulted ceiling. The church is built on a north–south axis, with the chancel to the south and a tower to the north, and cross-arms projecting from the nave — an unusual and distinctive plan. At full height, including its spire, the building rises to over 42 metres.
The interior decoration, carried out by a Stockholm-based firm of decorative painters, together with locally made furnishings — pews, pulpit and altar from a joinery works in Lindesberg, and coloured cathedral glass windows supplied from Stockholm — gives the church a coherent late-nineteenth-century character. A large bronze bell weighing over a tonne was cast for the tower by a Stockholm foundry. Several individual donors, including a local mine manager and his wife, contributed textiles and fittings to the new church.
The present font, carved from limestone and decorated with figures of the four evangelists, dates from 1945, replacing whatever had served before. The church's first organ, built in 1895 by E. A. Setterquist & Son, was inaugurated alongside the building itself; it was replaced in 1958 by a new instrument from the German firm Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden, which was later adjusted and renovated in the 1990s.
