The present church was built between 1783 and 1786, replacing an earlier building on the site that burned down in 1782. The project was driven forward by the ironworks owner Olof Burenstam of Skyllberg. The interior reflects the ideals of the Gustavian period, and although later changes have altered some details, the church's neoclassical character has been preserved.
Among the surviving fittings is a limestone font bearing the date 1789, along with a silver christening bowl donated by a local bailiff and innkeeper named Berg. According to local tradition, Berg saved the church's silver during the 1782 fire by having the presence of mind to shut the door to the sacristy.
The altarpiece, depicting the Resurrection of Christ, is a copy of the altarpiece in Ulrika Eleonora church in Stockholm. A striking wall hanging, made by the Tre Bäckar workshop in 1969, adds a modern decorative element to the historic interior. The church seats around 300 people.
The windows are fitted with cast-iron glazing bars, and cast-iron slabs can also be seen used as gravestones in the churchyard, a distinctive local touch linked to the area's ironworking heritage. The church village itself lies at the centre of the Lerbäck mining and ironworking district (bergslag), and the surrounding cluster of buildings — including a tithe barn, parish house and former inn — has been recognised as being of national heritage interest.
The church has had several organs over its history. A small organ built in the 1850s was later moved to Hardemo church, and a larger instrument followed in 1870. The current main organ dates from 1937, while a separate chancel organ was installed in 1990.
