A church is recorded on this site from the 13th century, consisting of a nave and chancel closed at the western end by a round tower. By the 1800s the old building was judged too small and too dilapidated to renovate, and it was demolished to make way for the present structure, built from 1863 and consecrated in November 1864.
The new church was built as a Latin cross in a round-arched (rundbåge) style, with a distinctive octagonal tower bearing eight gables and a tall, cross-topped spire. The brick came from the Näsbyholm brickworks and gravel from a local pit at Önnarp; the original cast-iron windows with small panes were partly replicated in wood in 1996. An inscription on the tower records the reign of Carl XV and the names associated with the building's construction, dated 1864.
Several furnishings survive from the earlier medieval church, giving the interior more age than the building itself suggests. These include a 13th-century crucifix, a bronze incense censer hanging on the wall, a 17th-century pulpit with a canopy, brass candlesticks, wooden collection bags and a brass font. The church bell also dates from the 1200s and is still in use. Chandeliers were donated by villagers during the 19th and 20th centuries.
The present mechanical organ was built in 1976 by Anders Persson Orgelbyggeri of Viken, replacing an earlier harmonium.
The churchyard contains a well-preserved 18th-century gravestone decorated with figures, commemorating a man named Mickel Anderson, his wife and daughter. One grave plot is marked as a protected historic grave, where no further burials may take place. Local, unconfirmed tradition holds that a teacher and fourteen pupils who died of carbon monoxide poisoning at Önnarp school in the late 1800s are buried there, but this story could not be substantiated despite investigation, and the plot's earlier use remains uncertain.
