The church was built by the firm of David Roos to designs by architect Sten Hummel-Gumælius, and was consecrated on 23 October 1960 by Archbishop Gunnar Hultgren. It formed part of a wave of new parish churches built for Uppsala's expanding suburbs in the late 1950s.
The building forms the eastern wing of a larger complex, the other wings housing parish facilities, arranged around an enclosed courtyard with a fountain. The west side of the worship space has glazed walls facing this courtyard, and the main entrance lies to the north with the chancel to the south. A bell tower stands at the north-west corner. The whole complex is built of concrete, with a roof covered in black-painted sheet metal, giving it a distinctly functional, modernist character typical of Swedish church architecture of the period.
Inside, the font at the left of the chancel is carved from red sandstone and was a gift from the church's builder, David Roos. An icon depicting the Virgin and Child hangs above it. Two bells, cast in 1960 at the Bergholtz bell foundry in Sigtuna, hang in the tower.
The organ above the entrance gallery has an interesting history: the original mechanical instrument, built in 1961–63 by Åkerman & Lund in Knivsta, was later replaced by a new organ built in 2022 by the German firm Paschen Kiel Orgelbau.
