The present church replaced a medieval building recorded here since the 1200s. Built between 1858 and 1860 of hand-struck red brick, it was consecrated in 1860 and designed by the noted architect and scholar Carl Georg Brunius. Around forty years later, in 1896, the original low tower with its pyramid-shaped roof was rebuilt in machine-struck brick by Salomon Sörensen, a pupil of the architect Helgo Zettervall, giving the church its taller tower with stepped gables and a spire topped by a cross; a new sacristy was added at the same time.
A distinctive detail on the tower is its four gargoyle-like water spouts shaped as dragon heads, one at each corner.
Inside, a dim porch opens into a narrow nave with slender vaulting and pointed windows. The vaults are painted with flowing floral decoration dating from a renovation in the 1890s, when a dividing screen between the nave, chancel and sacristy was removed, enlarging the chancel. The warm, pale grey stonework and painted vaults give the interior a light, airy character.
The chancel windows, forming an unusual reredos in place of a conventional altarpiece, were made by Svante Thulin during the same 1890s renovation; the central light depicts the Resurrection, flanked by windows with floral motifs. The pulpit and open pew arrangement also date from this period.
Among the church's older furnishings, the font is thought to survive from the medieval church and has an unusual four-lobed, clover-shaped form, said to derive from sandstone carving of the 1200s. The current organ, built in 1864 by the Gothenburg organ builder Johan Nikolaus Söderling, remains a mechanical instrument housed on a gallery dating from the church's construction.
