The present stone church replaced an earlier timber church, possibly of medieval origin, on the same site. The long nave with its straight-ended chancel dates from the later 17th century, while the sacristy on the north side is thought to have been added in the 1700s. A burial chapel was built onto the east end in the early 18th century, reportedly commissioned by a local district judge associated with the nearby Svanås estate.
The church's most visible external feature is its tower, raised in the 1800s in a neoclassical style with a closed lantern topped by a cross, replacing an earlier freestanding bell frame. Inside, the hall-church interior is covered by a wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling, and the chancel took its current form during a restoration in 1882–83.
The altarpiece, showing the Resurrection of Christ, was painted by the church artist Ludvig Frid around the time of that restoration and is flanked by pilasters topped with urn ornaments. The older baroque altarpiece it replaced has been kept, mounted on the south nave wall. An earlier pulpit, dated 1625, was removed when a new neoclassical pulpit was installed and is now held by the Smålands Museum; the newer pulpit gained a sounding board during the 1882 works.
Other notable furnishings include a sandstone font believed to date from around 1200, an epitaph above the sacristy door on the north wall, and the fully enclosed box-pew seating typical of many Swedish parish churches. The gallery balustrade carries painted panels attributed to Hans Brachwagen from 1751, uncovered again during a 1986 restoration. The two bells are dated 1642 and 1673. In the early 2000s some pews at the front of the church were removed.
The church has had several organs over the centuries, and the current mechanical instrument, built in 1959, retains the façade from an earlier 18th-century organ case.
