The church was built in 1904 by Isak Lahti and Karl Poromaa, and consecrated on 17 August that year by Bishop Olof Bergqvist. It stands on a granite foundation quarried and shaped by Rail Mäntyvaara of Tärendö, the stone itself having been transported from Tornefors. Originally the building comprised a nave, a three-sided chancel with a low sacristy attached to the east, and a porch to the west, built in a historicising style with joinery details reflecting the national romantic taste of the period. The interior is covered by a tredingstak, a traditional Swedish timber ceiling form.
In 1927 a west tower with rococo-like detailing was added, designed by Karl Martin Westerberg. A more significant change came in 1954, when the architect Valdemar Granlund carried out a thorough remodelling that considerably simplified the building's original character. The sacristy was later extended in 1978.
Inside, the altarpiece dates from 1933 and depicts Christ healing a blind man; it was painted by Gerda Höglund. North of the altar stands an octagonal pulpit on a pillar base, set beneath a matching octagonal canopy. Brass chandeliers and wall sconces were added during the 1930s.
A freestanding bell tower, contemporary with the church itself, stands near the parish hall, which was completed in 1961. The churchyard is bordered by woodland on its northern, eastern and western sides, giving the setting a quiet, forested character typical of many churches in this part of Norrbotten.
