Plans for a church at Sjöbo had existed for some time before gathering pace in the 1950s, as building activity in the district accelerated. The site was secured through a land reallocation in 1954, though it was later adjusted slightly because of road construction. Caroli parish's church council decided in 1955 to pursue the project, and a delegation travelled to Denmark to study small church buildings there, favouring the style of Sjælør church as a model. Its architect, Holger Jensen, produced a design in 1956, which formed the basis for the building approved in 1961 and completed the following year. The church was consecrated in December 1962 by Bishop Sven Danell.
The building is notable for its steep roof and the three crosses piercing the facade towards Fristadsvägen. Its walls combine limestone masonry with timber and glass sections, while the floor is also limestone. A copper-clad saddle roof covers the church, and an atrium courtyard adjoins the main worship space. The interior furnishings, including the altar and lectern, are movable, allowing the space to be reconfigured for different uses.
Outside the church walls stands a freestanding wooden bell tower, built in 1952 alongside the parish hall; its construction costs were raised through the efforts of the local sewing circle. The bells themselves, cast by the Bergholtz foundry, are said to date from 1951, a detail that sits slightly awkwardly alongside the tower's 1952 construction date.
Among the church's furnishings are a font and altar carved from limestone quarried at Slite on Gotland, an altar cross by Edvard Jensen, and chandeliers made from cast glass rods. The organ, installed in the eastern gallery in 1966 by A. Magnusson Orgelbyggeri, has fifteen stops across two manuals and pedal, with a sounding facade retained from the original 1962 building.
