The church's roots stretch back to the 12th century, and a doorway leading to the sacristy, carved with Viking-influenced motifs, has been dated by experts to that early period. Over the centuries the building was altered several times, with its current form largely established in the 1760s and finalised in 1820.
The interior is notable for its coherent Rococo decoration. The altarpiece structure, pulpit, chancel arch, chancel screen and altar rail were all made by Johan Edler the Elder of Lockne. The chancel arch, an unusual feature in Swedish churches, was traditionally intended to separate clergy from the congregation.
The large altarpiece showing Christ on the cross, along with a smaller painting beneath it depicting the institution of the Lord's Supper, was painted by Erik Norlander in 1769. The pulpit and the painting above it are the work of Anders Berglin from Östnor, Hackås. A baptismal angel was carved in 1802 by Jonas Edler, son of Johan Edler the Elder.
Perhaps the church's most remarkable former treasure is its medieval font, carved from a single piece of wood and dated to the 12th century. Praised for its intricate ornamentation, it is now considered one of Sweden's most important surviving relics and is kept at the Historical Museum in Stockholm. A replica can be seen at the Jamtli museum in Östersund, though the church itself no longer holds the original.
