The church visible today was built between 1848 and 1850 by master builder Andreas Persson and inaugurated on 11 September 1850. It replaced an earlier stone church that had stood on the same site since the medieval period. The building is traditionally designed, with a whitewashed rectangular nave, a straight-ended chancel to the east, and a west tower topped by an open, copper-clad lantern and cross. A sacristy stands on the north side, and the nave and chancel share a red-tiled roof.
Despite the mid-19th-century rebuilding, the church retains furnishings considerably older than the current structure. The pulpit dates from 1642 and features painted panels beneath a sounding board; it was kept in the tower for some years after 1848 before being restored and reinstated. The altarpiece, from 1653, comprises three oil paintings. The font, carved from a single piece of oak with a square upper section, dates from the 1700s.
The church bells are also of interest: one was cast in 1748 for the earlier church, while the second dates from 1900. Both carry inscriptions drawn from the Psalms.
The organ has a layered history typical of many Swedish parish churches. An instrument by Johan Nikolaus Söderling was installed in 1852, and its case survives. The mechanism was largely rebuilt and enlarged in the 1920s, and further renovated around 1990, when much of the earlier 20th-century pipework was retained.
The churchyard's oldest section has been used for burials since medieval times and has been extended on several occasions, including in 1883, 1927 and 1992, when a memorial grove was created. The church is also associated with a pilgrim route on Orust, reflecting its long-standing role as a place of passage and worship on the island.
