An earlier church with a bell tower stood on this site before the present building. Sources disagree on its age: one account notes a date in Latin numerals on the old church that could be read as either 1469 or 1569, while local tradition also speaks of a much older wooden chapel, said to date from 1291 and linked to a settler named Bodda, which was later moved to stand near the church. Both the old church and its bell tower were pulled down in 1796 to make way for the current building.
Construction of the present timber church began in 1794 and was completed in 1796, with consecration recorded in early 1797. The builder was Pål Persson of Stugun, also known for the bell tower at Håsjö (a copy of which stands at Skansen in Stockholm). The church is built of pine, lined inside and out with pine boarding, and rests on a stone foundation. Inside is a spacious nave seating several hundred, with galleries above.
The altarpiece, painted by Gottfrid Kallstenius, depicts Christ raising the widow's son at Nain; sources give its date as either 1912 or undated but consistent with the same subject. The pulpit was carved by Jonas Edler, with sources giving its date as either 1805 or 1806. Two bells hang in the tower, cast at a Sundsvall foundry, one from 1830 and a larger one from 1874. An old bog-iron lamp said to have been made locally, possibly as early as the 13th century, is also kept in the church, and is a rare survival of early ironworking in the district.
The organ, built in 1909–1911 by Jöns Eriksson and Christian Schuster of Östersund, has twelve stops and was later altered in the mid-20th century. Beside the church stand a number of timbered church stables dating from the later 19th century, once far more numerous than today, along with a parish hall built around the same period and since renovated.
