According to tradition, a medieval stave church once stood on this site, though nothing is known of it beyond a possible rebuilding in the 1680s, and no furnishings from it survive. The present timber church dates from 1712 and was probably built alongside its predecessor rather than on exactly the same spot.
The porch and tower were added in the later 18th century. The church was originally pale yellow, but was repainted red in the early 19th century, giving it the appearance visitors see today. A large churchyard surrounds the building, with the old cantor's residence and church school standing on the slope above, and the rectory opposite.
The most striking feature inside is the painted wooden barrel ceiling, completed in 1734 by the church painter Christian von Schönfeldt, among the last of his surviving works. Executed in grisaille, the ceiling depicts the Last Judgement surrounded by biblical scenes, with a chancel image of the Trinity. Because the church is small, only four subsidiary scenes surround the central image, including the Good Shepherd and the Parable of the Wedding Garments, along with painted figures of prophets and sibyls. Part of the painting on the west wall was lost when an opening was cut for a new organ in 1918.
Among the furnishings, the pulpit is thought to date from the early 17th century and originally came from the now-demolished old Fässberg church. The altarpiece, made in 1739 by Peter Weber, was a gift from Baroness Lunnetha Beata Hamilton of the nearby Råda estate; Weber is also credited with the numeral boards and the angel with a trumpet, added in 1743. The box pews date from the 18th century.
