The church was built between 1937 and 1939 in plastered brick, comprising a rectangular nave with an eastern chancel and a west tower. The tower's design is said to echo the Church of the Holy Cross in Ronneby, an intentional reference by the architect, who may also have sought to recreate a form of visible roof structure thought to have originally existed at Ronneby before Gothic vaulting was installed there in the fourteenth century.
Inside, the open roof construction with its heavy crossbeams and curved struts is a striking feature, evoking shipbuilding and giving the impression of looking up into the keel of a boat, a maritime theme fitting for a community that in the 1930s still relied heavily on the sea for its livelihood. Kockum also designed the altar rail, pulpit and pews, giving the interior a unified appearance.
The altarpiece, painted in 1938 by professor Olle Hjortzberg, shows Christ walking towards the viewer through a fishing settlement, past boats and a jetty. Although the subject recalls the Sea of Galilee, the setting is in fact drawn from the Blekinge coastline, tying the biblical scene to local life.
The font, carved in 1937 at Fondell's stonemasonry in Bräkne-Hoby to Kockum's design, carries a short inscription entrusting children to Christ's care. Above the central aisle hangs a votive ship, a model of the barque Ester, donated to the church in 1943; according to tradition it was made by a harbour captain from Simrishamn and given by his sister, a local schoolteacher.
The church also has an organ built in 1947 by A. Mårtensson's Orgelfabrik of Lund, a pneumatic instrument of modest size typical of Swedish parish churches of the period.
