The church was built in a restrained Neoclassical style, with a rectangular nave, a straight east end and a sacristy attached to the middle of the north wall. Sources differ slightly on the exact consecration date, with one giving 1848 and another 8 July 1849, but both agree the building replaced a timber chapel first erected in the 1730s. Because the new church stood on the site of the old chapel, its freestanding wooden bell tower was retained rather than rebuilt, though it was given its present shape in the late 1780s and still houses two bells.
The altarpiece, depicting the Ascension of Christ, was painted directly onto canvas laid on the chancel floor by the Stockholm artist Ernst Söderberg in the early 1930s. Before this the church had no altarpiece at all; the chancel was originally dominated simply by a tall window and a large wooden cross on the altar.
Other notable furnishings include a rounded, gilded pulpit with a sounding board, a wooden font, and a crucifix above the baptismal altar. An oil painting near the sacristy door is attributed to the artist Gunnar Torhamn, though the two sources differ on its subject, one describing it as a depiction of the Ascension theme and the other as a Washing of the Feet scene.
The organ has an interesting layered history: its façade, designed in white and gold, dates from an original 1874 instrument donated by the church's own builder, who later became a member of the Riksdag, and his wife. The organ itself was rebuilt and enlarged in 1947 by a Danish organ-building firm in Hilleröd, incorporating the older façade into the new instrument.
A major renovation took place in the early 1930s, involving Malmö and Växjö architects, which altered the layout of the pews, moved the pulpit, and introduced new heating arrangements beneath the church.
