The ruins preserve the remains of a church together with a kastal, a defensive stone tower. Local tradition links the two structures to the Norwegian king Sverre's victory over the Jämtland people in a battle fought on the ice at Lillsundet, near Sunne, in 1178.
The kastal, which retains an internal masonry staircase, is thought to date from the early medieval period, making it one of the older stone structures in the district. The church ruin itself, with its rectangular, elongated ground plan, is generally attributed to the later medieval period, and it is thought likely that an earlier church once stood on the same site.
Beneath the turf in the eastern part of the ruin, visitors can still make out the outline of a raised chancel and the foundation of an altar, giving a sense of the building's original layout.
The site lies on ground that is uneven and without services, reflecting its character as a ruin rather than a functioning church building, though it continues to be used occasionally for worship and family occasions.
