The parish centre around the church includes a well-preserved older rectory and a modern parish hall. A characteristic feature of the churchyard is the large number of gravel-covered graves. The predecessor of the present church is assumed to have been built in the 13th century and belonged to the particular group of medieval brick churches found in Dalsland. According to tradition, the old church stood around thirty metres east of the present one. There are also accounts of an even older wooden church on the other side (north) of the river, where the rectory is also said to have previously stood. By the end of the 18th century, the old brick church had fallen into serious disrepair. A driving force behind the building of a new church was the then vicar and rural dean (prost) Johan Gustaf Stenberg, who is described as having sacrificed almost his entire personal fortune for the construction of the church.
The exterior of the church is typical of the period around 1800, featuring, among other things, a three-sided chancel and a nave with a broken, hipped roof covered in slate. The plan of the church is original to its construction, while the lantern received its current form in 1852, and the large round-arched window openings were added in 1872. The church interior is large and spacious. The furnishings are dominated by austere classicism in light colours. Particularly prominent are the large altarpiece structure and the pulpit, both from 1829 and designed by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Gerss. The altar painting, "The Resurrection of Christ", was painted in 1818 by the well-known artist Per Kraft den yngre and is of particular artistic value. Per Kraft den yngre was one of the renowned artists of his time and held the positions of professor and court painter. Also notable in the interior is the large gallery organ from 1855. In the southern part of the chancel there is a grave slab for Lieutenant Colonel Elias Rosengrip, who died in 1740, and his wife Helena, née Rytting. The church's font dates from the 13th century and is made of soapstone.
