An earlier, smaller timber church once stood on this site. Its exact age is unknown, but surviving furnishings dating from the 1300s and 1400s suggest a church existed here from an early date. By 1841 an inspection report described the older building and its 1725 bell tower as dilapidated, and a new church was built shortly afterwards.
The present church was constructed in 1844 by master builder Johannes Pettersson, who modelled it on Ambjörnarps kyrka, which he had built four years earlier. It is a plain hall church in a neoclassical style, with a log timber frame clad in white-painted panelling and pierced by large round-arched windows. The layout follows a simple plan: a nave with a five-sided chancel to the east, a west tower with the main entrance, and a sacristy attached to the north side of the chancel. The building rests on a hewn stone foundation, later rendered in plaster. Unusually for the diocese, the roof retains its original wooden shingle covering.
Inside, much of the historic character has been preserved. The floorboards were relaid in 1924, though the old planks were kept in place, and the box-pew arrangement survives despite later alterations, with carved pilaster motifs on the pew ends.
Among the church's furnishings is a striking sandstone font carved in one piece in the 1300s, considered unique in the area. Around its bowl runs a band of seven rounded arches, six filled with carved plant ornament and one showing the silhouette of a hooded face, though this decoration may be a later addition. The font shows some later repainting but remains in relatively good condition.
Other notable objects include a crucifix traditionally attributed to an Italian sculptor, a 15th-century chasuble, and a pulpit made by Johannes Andersson of Mjöbäck. The church also holds two late-medieval bells, both without inscriptions.
