The present church was built in 1878–79 to designs by the architect Edvard von Rothstein and was consecrated in October 1879 by the then Bishop of Växjö, Johan Andersson. It replaced an older medieval church, which still stands nearby, and was built partly because that earlier building had been condemned and partly to serve a newly merged parish that combined Vederslöv with Dänningelanda. As part of the arrangement, Dänningelanda's own wooden church, erected in 1750 after a fire, was sold at auction and demolished once the new church opened, though its churchyard has remained in use.
Constructed of stone, the church has a rectangular nave with a smaller, semicircular sacristy to the west and a tall tower to the east flanked by twin stair turrets. The tower is capped by an octagonal spire with a lantern and cross. Inside, slender wooden pillars divide the church into three aisles, with the organ loft linking galleries on both sides; the central vault is a wooden barrel ceiling, while the side aisles have flat wooden ceilings.
Among the church's furnishings is a richly carved sandstone font dating from the 13th century, decorated with a group of fantastical creatures typical of the period. The altarpiece, painted in 1905 by A. Jungstedt and depicting Christ blessing the children, was a gift from the celebrated opera singer Kristina Nilsson. A modern crucifix was added in 1996, the work of the artist Eva Spångberg.
The pulpit, contemporary with the church itself, is decorated with carved emblems including crossed keys, palm branches, the tablets of the law and a communion chalice. Three bells hang in the tower, the oldest cast in 1521, with others added in 1752 and 1855, reflecting continuity with the parish's earlier church despite the rebuilding.
The mechanical organ was built in 1892 by Setterquist & Son of Örebro and inaugurated that October; its case, designed by the Växjö architect A. G. Johansson, takes the form of an ornately decorated Italian Renaissance-style organ front with gilded finials. It was renovated and its disposition altered in 1977.
