The first church at Färingtofta is believed to date from the early 1200s, established on the initiative of the Cistercian monastery at Herrevad, and for centuries it served as an annexe church to Riseberga. Little of that medieval structure survives today, as the building was completely rebuilt in the early nineteenth century.
The church's tower was completed in 1797, and the wider rebuilding, designed by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Gerss, gave the church its present appearance. It was reconsecrated in 1828. The interior forms a cruciform layout with its long axis running north to south, and the altar and pulpit are combined and set against the east wall of the nave.
At its reconsecration the church was dedicated to Crown Princess (later Queen) Josephina, wife of King Oscar I, giving rise to its alternative name, Josephina's Church.
Among the church's older furnishings is a sandstone font dating from the medieval period, the work of an unknown craftsman. It was originally painted in bright colours, later given a marbled finish, and received its current appearance in 1961.
The church has had at least two organs: an 1879 instrument by Anders Victor Lundahl of Malmö, and the current mechanical organ built in 1969 by the Frederiksborg Orgelbyggeri in Hillerød, Denmark, which retains the facade of its 1879 predecessor.
