An earlier timber chapel stood on the site from 1758–1764, built by the joiner Anders Kielsson, who also raised a bell tower here in the 1770s. The present church took ten years to build, under master builder Jöns Berglund of Österåsen, to designs by architects Johan Fredrik Åbom and Fredrik Ekberg. The plans were, with few changes, the same as those used for Hamra church in Dalarna, and the finished building was consecrated in October 1885.
The church has a long nave running north–south, with a narrower, straight-ended chancel to the north and a tower with entrance to the south; a sacristy occupies the lower part of the chancel. The exterior is clad in pale grey standing panelling, with pointed windows in white-painted joinery. The roof was originally covered in wooden shingles, later replaced with sheet metal.
Inside, the panelled walls are painted in light tones, and there is an organ gallery to the south. Two more radical schemes for the building were drawn up but never carried out: a 1920s plan to repanel and refit the interior with fibreboard, and a 1929 proposal to demolish the church entirely and replace it with a newly designed building, which was never constructed. In the 1960s the decision was instead taken to keep the old church and build a separate new church down in the village, completed in 1966. The old church then stood unused until 1985, when its exterior was restored, followed by the interior in 1990; it was reconsecrated at Midsummer that year and remains in its earlier form.
The altarpiece, depicting Christ and the woman at the well, was painted by Johan Tirén. The organ, built in 1897 by Åkerman & Lund, is said to survive unchanged since it was installed.
