The parish's medieval church, which stood by the lake shore, was demolished in 1880 to make way for a new building in the Karl Johan style. That church, in turn, was destroyed by fire on the morning of Epiphany 1962; only the church silver, kept at the rectory, survived the blaze.
The present church was built in 1964–65 by AB Armerad Betong to designs by the architect Bent Jörgen Jörgensen, who was asked to echo the traditional plan of the burnt church while using modern construction. It has a concrete frame, a rectangular nave with a shallow three-sided chancel, and a tall, recessed tower at the west end rising some 36 metres. The roof is covered in clay slate, and the white-painted brick exterior contrasts with an interior of black slate, white brick and sandblasted, vitriol-treated pine, largely unaltered since it was built.
The bronze altarpiece, a relief by the artist Jörgen Martinsson, traces a path of divine love through the world: from the infant Jesus, through humiliation and the cross, to reconciliation and the restoration of Peter. The font, pulpit and altar are all made of the same white-painted brick as the walls, with elements of black granite and diabase, all dating from the church's construction.
The three bells in the tower were cast in 1965 by the M. E. Ohlsson foundry in Ystad, incorporating metal salvaged from the bells destroyed in the 1962 fire. The medieval limestone font that once stood in the earlier churches, carved around the year 1200 with arcading and foliate ornament, survived the various rebuildings and fire; it is now kept at the Gothenburg City Museum rather than in the church itself.
The church's organ history reflects the site's turbulent past: an earlier instrument was destroyed in the 1962 fire, and a new organ built in 1966 by Hermann Eule of Bautzen was itself later replaced, in 1990, by an instrument from Västbo Orgelbyggeri.
