The church was built in the early 1960s to designs by architect Claes Knutsson, though sources differ slightly on the exact building date, with construction generally placed around 1962–1964. It was consecrated in 1964 by Bishop David Lindquist. The parish itself grew out of the older church community of Aneboda; as Lammhult's population increased beyond that of Aneboda, the decision was taken to build a church of its own here.
The building is constructed of natural stone beneath a steeply pitched, shingle-clad hipped roof, and is arranged on a north–south axis with a three-sided choir to the south. A smaller transept extends to the west, and enclosed courtyards, bounded by stone walls, open onto the church interior through large windows. Inside, the tall ceiling is lined with dark-stained timber panelling, giving the modern structure a somewhat archaic, contemplative atmosphere.
A striking feature is the coloured glass, made of glass-concrete mosaic, designed by the artist Olle Svanlund of Malmö. The choir windows are said to carry the names Hope, Light and Reconciliation, while a further window opposite the entrance, in the western wall, is known as the Cross. Despite its relatively recent construction, the church has been given protected status by the Swedish National Heritage Board, recognised for its distinctive architectural language blending references to older church building with modernist design.
Among the furnishings, the altar has a black limestone top set on a base of natural stone masonry, and a large cross is suspended from the ceiling above it. An older hymn number board is recorded as having come from the former Aneboda church. The church also has an electric organ built in 1964 by J. Künkels Orgelverkstad, a modest but characterful instrument of its period.
