The church was built between 1890 and 1892 to designs by Adrian Petersson (also recorded as Adrian Crispin Peterson), who also designed Fjällbacka church and Svenneby new church. It was consecrated on 19 June 1892. The exterior has changed little since then: the roof covering was later replaced with copper sheeting, granite copings were swapped for metal, and a tower clock was added in 1933.
Architecturally, the church comprises a rectangular nave, a narrower five-sided chancel to the south, and a stone tower to the north housing the porch. Buttresses mark the corners and window bays throughout, giving the building its pronounced neo-Gothic character. The façade is built of dressed reddish-brown granite with narrow joints, while copper sheeting covers the roofs, sills and mouldings. Above the main entrance is a relief depicting Christ seated among children and angels. Inside, pointed-arch windows with leaded cathedral glass light a timber barrel-vaulted ceiling carried on freestanding pillars, evoking the form of aisles without a true three-aisled plan.```}
The chancel arch separating nave and choir bears a biblical inscription that was lost for much of the twentieth century before being repainted in 1986; moisture damage later required the arch itself to be dismantled and rebuilt during the 2018–2019 restoration, with the text reinstated. Five stained-glass windows in the chancel, made by Joel Mila in 1965, depict biblical scenes with a west-coast maritime flavour.
The altar, dating from 1892, is in neo-Gothic style and features a copy, in plaster cast, of Carl Johan Dyfverman's Christ on the Cross, flanked by decorative gilded panels. The granite font dates from 1919; the earlier font was repurposed as a collection basin and remains in the church alongside another basin donated by a former churchwarden. Sources differ slightly on the predikstol (pulpit) figures and votive ship noted by Wikipedia, which are not detailed further here.
The church has had three organs. The first, by Salomon Molander, dated from the 1890s; a successor was built by the Hammarberg firm in 1938; and the current instrument, also by Hammarberg, was inaugurated in 1988, incorporating some pipework from the original Molander organ within its 30 stops. The church has undergone several renovations since the 1920s, most recently in 2018–2019, when moisture damage was addressed and the interior colour scheme was revised to reflect the building's original appearance.
