An earlier wooden church stood on this site, built in the early 1620s. It was clad in shingles, painted red, and had a rectangular plan, with a sacristy added to the north in the mid-seventeenth century and an extension to the west roughly a century later. That timber building was eventually demolished and replaced.
The present church, built of limestone between 1847 and 1851 to designs by Johan Adolf Hawerman, consists of a nave with a tower to the south and a chancel to the north, with entrances through the tower and on the east and west sides. Inside, the church is divided into three aisles, with a barrel vault over the central aisle and a domed vault over the chancel. The semicircular, apse-shaped chancel has three windows, which received stained glass in 1938 depicting the Crucifixion, the Adoration of the Shepherds and the Resurrection.
Among the furnishings, the limestone font is attributed to the so-called Boda Master, Simon Hack, a local medieval craftsman. The altar cabinet dates from the Middle Ages and has a layered history: it stood in the earlier wooden church here, and before that in Rättvik's church, linking Boda to a wider regional tradition of reused medieval church furnishings. The pulpit is contemporary with the present stone church and was made by Tin Erik Andersson of Vikarbyn.
The church has had several organs. An instrument was built in the 1870s by a local craftsman, Anders Ersson of Boda, followed by a new organ in 1874 by Åkerman & Lund of Stockholm. The current organ, built in 1963 by Hammarbergs Orgelbyggeri of Gothenburg, reused some pipework from the 1874 instrument and retains a facade from its own time.
The church gained wider recognition when Swedish public television broadcast its Christmas morning service from Boda kyrka in 2019.
