The church was built in 1955 by the residents of the neighbouring villages of Klippen and Bergnäs. Its name reflects its unusual design: a hexagonal timber structure with a hipped roof whose eaves reach almost down to the ground, giving the building the silhouette of a traditional Sámi kåta (hut) rather than a conventional church.
The exterior walls are clad in wooden panelling, and the roof is covered with wooden shingles. At the very top of the roof there is a small hexagonal window that lets light into the interior below.
Inside, the church has a plain wooden floor and walls lined with untreated timber panelling. Notably, there are no fixed pews, giving the space an open, simple character in keeping with its rustic exterior.
A freestanding bell tower houses what is recorded as Sorsele's oldest church bell, a link to the wider parish's history that predates the building itself. The furnishings are modest, with a harmonium noted among the church's fittings.
