Construction began in 1707, the church was brought into use the following year and formally consecrated in 1711. Tradition attributes the design to the royal architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger, though this attribution is uncertain. The building's eight-sided plan and central roof turret for the bells have been likened to Byzantine architectural forms, giving the church a distinctive silhouette quite different from the typical rectangular timber churches of the region.
To the east stands a projecting three-sided chancel, with the sacristy attached to its north side, while a porch extends from the west front. The interior originally showed bare, unpainted log walls, which were covered with wooden panelling in 1776, giving the church a warmer, finished appearance. A restoration in 1953 aimed to recreate the character of the eighteenth-century interior, and the sacristy was enlarged at the same time.
Among the furnishings is an old alms chest contemporary with the church itself. The altarpiece, probably dating from the seventeenth century, has an intriguing history: it was rediscovered in 1952 in the church loft, having presumably been removed and forgotten at some earlier point. A numbered hymn board from 1737 also survives in the chancel.
The present organ, with ten stops, was built in 1946 by Setterquist & Son. Of the two bells, the larger was cast in Stockholm in 1906 by the Bergholtz bell foundry, while the smaller dates from the church's construction period, cast in Falun in 1707 by Gerhard Meyer.
