The present church replaced an older building dating from 1542, which was demolished to make way for the new structure. The only surviving element from that medieval church is the tower, which still stands at the west end. The rest of the building, including the crossvaulted nave and much of its 1854 interior, has seen only minor changes since it was completed.
The church is a simple hall church (salkyrka) with a three-sided chancel to the east, whitewashed walls, and a sacristy on the north side. Inside, visitors can see a plaster copy of Bertel Thorvaldsen's well-known sculpture of Christ, along with a pair of substantial brass candlesticks on the altar dating from the mid-1700s.
Other notable furnishings include a cross-stitch rug in front of the altar and a delicate Scanian bobbin-lace edging on the altar cloth, both made by local parish needlework groups. The font dates from the 1600s and has a relief of the Annunciation on its underside, though this is not always easy to see.
The organ façade was designed in 1860 by Ludvig Hawerman, an architect attached to the Royal Office of Buildings; the organ itself was built in 1862 by Johan Nikolaus Söderling of Gothenburg and remains a mechanical instrument, though some of its stops were altered in the 1950s. The church bell dates from 1792 and carries an inscription naming the reigning king, local governor, bishop and parish officials of the time, along with a biblical verse of praise.
When the old church was demolished, two runic stones were reportedly found. One is said to have been built into the tower of the new church, while the other was said to have been broken up and used as filling material during construction; both are now considered lost, and their exact fate cannot be confirmed.
