The medieval predecessor to today's church was a timber building constructed in the skiftesverk method, though its exact age is unknown. Local tradition holds that earlier churches, possibly including a stave church, once stood on the same site, and that the location had previously been a pagan sacrificial grove. By the 1820s the old wooden church was judged to be in poor condition, prompting plans for a replacement.
The present stone church was built between 1832 and 1835 to a design by county master builder Carl Robert Palmér, later revised by Carl-Gustaf Blom-Carlsson of the Office of the Superintendent of Buildings. It was constructed in the Empire style, with a rectangular nave, a chancel wall, a sacristy to the west, and a tower to the east topped with a lantern and cross. Bishop Esaias Tegnér, a noted promoter of light, spacious church buildings across the diocese, consecrated the new church on 27 September 1837.
Restoration work in 1928 uncovered graves beneath the floor of the current church, believed to date from the earlier building. Several notable medieval objects have survived from that older church, including a sandstone font attributed to the so-called Njudung Master and thought to date from the 13th century, a crucifix from the same era, and two carved figures depicting Moses and Aaron. A medieval incense burner is also preserved among the church's furnishings.
Other fittings include a canopied pulpit decorated with the tablets of the law and a scroll laid upon olive branches, and a gallery organ built in 1865 by Johannes Magnusson of Nässja, which has been renovated on more than one occasion.
