A church has stood on this site since the late twelfth century, though that early stone building eventually fell into disrepair and was demolished. The present church was built in 1791, and it is recorded that stone from the ruins of Axvalla hus, a nearby castle, was reused as building material. The church consists of a nave with a rounded chancel to the east and a tower to the west, with a sacristy attached beyond the chancel.
The current altarpiece was painted by Louise af Geijerstam and given to the church in 1914. Two older altarpieces are kept on the long walls of the church, offering visitors a glimpse of the building's earlier furnishings alongside its later addition.
Among the church's older fittings is a limestone font, donated in 1935 by the provost Gustav Håård, and a small oblate box (used for communion wafers) dating from 1677. Two bells hang in the tower, the elder of which was cast in 1652.
The church has had an organ since at least the mid-seventeenth century, when a small four-stop instrument was installed; this was replaced in the 1740s. A larger organ was built in 1877 by Salomon Molander & Co of Gothenburg, and the present instrument, built in 1939 by the Danish firm Th. Frobenius & Sönner, incorporates some parts from its 1877 predecessor.
