The church was built in 1965 to designs by the Karlskrona architect Sigge Ullén, replacing the need for a new district church as Växjö's eastern suburbs grew. It was consecrated on 2 October 1965 by Bishop David Lindquist. The building forms part of Växjö stads- och domkyrkoförsamling.
Constructed of concrete with walls faced in dark red brick, the church is a partly sunken (souterrain) structure oriented east-west, set on raised ground. Tall, high-set windows light the interior, and the east wall behind the chancel is dominated by a striking divided window arrangement forming the shape of a cross. A freestanding bell tower with a copper-clad top stands to the north of the church.
Inside, the fittings are simple and modern in character, including a plain font and a freestanding altar. The altarpiece, painted in 1994 by Mats Aronsson, depicts the four seasons; Aronsson also created the stained glass in the chancel windows. Two large paintings by Elisabeth Bergstrand-Poulsen, showing Christ blessing children and a children's choir, hang in the church, along with a processional crucifix by Eva Spångberg.
The congregational wing, added in 1991, provides offices, meeting rooms and space for an open pre-school in the lower level, alongside a parish hall and kitchen on the entrance floor — reflecting the building's continuing role as a community as well as a worship space.
The mechanical organ, built in 1967 by Ingvar Johansson of Västbo Orgelbyggeri in Långaryd, has nine stops across two manuals and is a modest but characterful instrument typical of Swedish church-building of its period.
