The church was built in the early fourteenth century as a private chapel for the Aspnäs estate and was dedicated to Saint George. Records suggest a worn image of the saint still existed there in the eighteenth century. It is a modest building with a rectangular nave and a straight-ended chancel to the east, a sacristy attached to the north side of the chancel, and a porch at the western end of the nave.
The original walls were built of bright red brick with decorative details in yellow brick, and the north wall was once painted black. At some point the building was rendered white, though it is not known when this change was made. In the sixteenth century the church was damaged by fire, though the extent of the damage is unclear. The surviving wall paintings inside date from 1595, created after that fire, and are notable for depicting purely biblical scenes without any images of saints.
After its last recorded service in 1796, the church fell into disuse and was put to practical use as a grain store and sheep house. An early twentieth-century restoration proposal was drawn up in 1922 by the architect Erik Fant, but it was not until 1962 that a full restoration, led by the court architect Ragnar Jonsson, was completed. The church was reconsecrated that year by Archbishop Gunnar Hultgren.
Among the furnishings, visitors may notice a twelve-sided oak font from 1982, carved with Christian symbols painted in yellow, beige, brown, blue and green, and two silver candelabra in Rococo style made in 1943. Two crucifixes were donated to the church by the Sandström family at the time of its 1962 reconsecration. The church also has a small mechanical choir organ, built in 1975 by the Grönlunds organ workshop in Gammelstad.
