The present church was consecrated in 1957, replacing an 1889 building that had become too small for the growing community and was demolished in 1956. That predecessor had itself replaced an earlier church of 1789, built for the workers of the Robertsfors ironworks (bruk) that gave the town its name.
Designed by Ivar Tengbom, one of Sweden's most prominent twentieth-century church architects, the building combines a modern construction with details that echo medieval church design. Its white-plastered brick walls enclose a single-nave plan with a narrower, rectangular chancel set at the same height as the nave, topped by a tall, slate-clad roof.
Inside, the hall-like church has white-plastered walls and a barrel-vaulted ceiling finished in grey-painted timber panelling, with fixed pews throughout. A striking feature is the chancel window, designed by the artist Bo Beskow, which brings coloured light into the otherwise restrained interior. Tengbom also designed the freestanding bell tower (klockbock) beside the church.
