The church stands on raised ground at the entrance to what was once a large round village, a settlement type with open common land at its centre, opposite the site of the old parish school. Below it, farmhouses and terraced houses from the nineteenth century sit alongside buildings from the turn of the century, when the railway brought new communications and prosperity, together with later functionalist houses and villas, so that the village's history can be read almost like the rings of a tree.
The medieval church that previously stood here was demolished, and the present building was constructed in 1869–70 to designs by Ludvig Hedin, built of stone with a tower and a narrow three-sided chancel and sacristy. Stones from the old church are said to have been reused in the walls of the new one. The result is a plain, light-filled interior in a restrained classical style: the nave is broad, the pews stand freely arranged within the space, and the large windows are without stained glass.
Against this simplicity, the richly carved pulpit and altarpiece stand out, both dating from the seventeenth century and brought over from the earlier medieval church. The hexagonal pulpit carries colourful relief panels depicting biblical scenes, while the altarpiece shows the Resurrection of Christ, the Last Supper and the four evangelists.
Several older furnishings also survive from the medieval church: sources mention a font from the early medieval period, and a triumphal crucifix dated to the fifteenth century, kept alongside these earlier remnants of the building it replaced.
The church organ dates from 1878, built by Salomon Molander & Co of Gothenburg, and has since been altered more than once during the twentieth century.
