The church is thought to have been built in the 1200s, and shares a building history with several other medieval stone churches in Dalsland: a modest stone nave later extended with a three-sided chancel, added sometime before 1700. The roof covering was changed from wooden shingles to slate in 1797, and a new sacristy was added on the north side in 1935.
The most distinctive feature today is the tall west tower in functionalist style, built in 1937 to designs by the architect Tor Engloo and well preserved in its original form. Engloo also designed the pulpit, added the following year, whose six-sided body carries carved figures of the four evangelists.
Much of the interior was renewed during the 1930s and 1940s, when new pews, a pulpit, gallery front and organ were installed, giving the church its bright, spacious character with recurring grey marbled paintwork. The west gallery is carried on fourteen grey-marbled columns with carved dark green and gilded capitals; its front was remodelled in 1936 and decorated with portraits of notable figures from the history of the Church of Sweden, including Olaus Petri and J O Wallin.
Older furnishings include a small stone font, carved from a single block and thought to date from the 1200s, decorated with band and rib ornament, and an altarpiece in provincial Baroque style carved by Nils Falk in 1730. A separate wooden altar was added at the chancel wall in 1936. The church's small bell, undated and without inscription, is believed to be of late-medieval type.
A small parish centre stands near the church, including a rectory said to have occupied the site since around 1670. In the churchyard, a notable local custom is that all graves are oriented to face east.
