Rejmyre developed after 1810, when privileges were granted to establish a glassworks here. As the workforce and population grew, the community decided in 1837 to build its own chapel close to the glasshouse. A simple rectangular timber structure was raised the following year, and the church is usually dated to 1838. Sources agree on this general sequence, though exact building dates vary slightly between accounts.
The chapel was soon enlarged: two cross-arms were added in 1841, followed by an open lantern above the crossing in 1843, giving the building the cruciform silhouette visible today. The exterior, originally red-painted timber, was rendered later in the nineteenth century, giving it the whitewashed appearance seen now. Large round-arched windows with glazing bars light the interior, and the main entrance is through the south transept.
Inside, the altar stands to the east and the organ to the west, beneath a low, flat wooden ceiling. A wall painting near the sacristy, depicting the crowned Christ, is thought to date from the later fifteenth century, considerably older than the church building itself, suggesting it may have been brought here from elsewhere or copied from an older source. The current altarpiece, showing the same subject, was hung in 1952, when the original pulpit above the altar was replaced by an ambo to the left of the chancel.
Among the church's furnishings is a font of Kolmården marble, designed by Kurt von Schmalensee and delivered in 1953. A notable curiosity is a glass chalice, almost certainly blown at the Rejmyre glassworks itself and probably cut and engraved by a Stockholm glass-cutter, a fitting link between the church and the industry that founded it.
The church's organs have been rebuilt more than once: an early instrument from 1838 was followed by a new organ in 1851, another in 1931, and the current mechanical organ, built in 1960 behind the historic 1851 case front.
