The original medieval church at Krokek burned down in April 1889. A new church was built roughly six kilometres from the old site, close to Bråviken, to designs by the architect Fritz Eckert, and it was consecrated in November 1896 by Bishop Carl Wilhelm Charleville. The Neo-Gothic building was constructed under the local master builder Frans August Påhlman.
The church underwent a restoration in 1957 led by architect Kurt von Schmalensee, and a further renovation and extension took place in 1984 under Norrköping architect Guy Sjöwall. This later work widened the porch, uncovered the chancel's central window, and added a waiting room, toilets and wheelchair access, modernising the building for contemporary use. The new brickwork for the porch exterior was imported from Denmark.
Inside, the three chancel windows are cut glass designs by Jan Brazda, adding colour and craftsmanship to the sanctuary. The marble font and altar slab both derive from the nearby Kolmården marble works, a material closely tied to the local landscape; the font was designed by Kurt von Schmalensee, reputedly funded through a women's society formed for the purpose. The silver and crystal altar cross and a pair of silver vases were designed by the noted silversmith Wiwen Nilsson.
Several older fittings survive from the original church, including a communion set of chalice, paten, wafer box and jug. The church also holds three processional crosses, one by Eva Spångberg and another, intended to be carried by children, made in intarsia by Ingårdas Åsa.
The church bells were cast in 1896 by N.P. Linderbergs AB of Sundsvall. The current organ, an electropneumatic instrument with 28 stops built by Kemper & Sohn of Lübeck, dates from 1957 and replaced an earlier organ lost in the 1889 fire; it was renovated in 2010, and an Allen organ was later installed in the chancel.
