Ulvö kyrka stands on Norra Ulvön, one of two church buildings in Ulvöhamn, and serves as the parish church of Nätra församling in the Diocese of Härnösand. This modest timber church reflects the island's long fishing heritage.

Construction of Ulvön's new church began in 1892 to designs by P G Hultman, and the building was consecrated in 1894. It is built of timber, has a tower, and seats around 200 people. The church underwent an exterior renovation in 1921, followed by a substantial restoration of the interior in 1924. A replacement church bell, cast by the Bergholtz bell foundry, was installed in 1929.

The altar and pulpit were carved by a local islander, J A Söderberg, giving the interior a distinctly Ulvön character connected to the local community rather than outside craftsmen.

The church contains two organs of note. A pipe organ, a so-called House organ built by the German firm Werner Bosch Orgelbau, was installed in 1952. There is also a chancel organ, an older pipe organ dating from the 1880s, made by Nils Oskar Alm of Boden.
