The church stands on a small rocky knoll roughly a kilometre north of Svenneby gamla kyrka. As the new building was to be larger and heavier than its predecessor, a site with firmer ground was needed, leading to this elevated position being chosen.
Construction took place between 1912 and 1915 in the Neo-Gothic style, to designs by architects John August Uddgren and Adrian C. Peterson. The granite used was quarried only a few hundred metres from the site itself. The building comprises a nave with a narrower, three-sided chancel to the east, within which the sacristy is housed and separated by a screen. A tower on the west side has a ground floor serving as the porch, and the nave's slate roof is hipped over the chancel, with the tower spire covered in copper sheeting. Inside, the ceiling takes the form of a shallow wooden barrel vault.
A significant renovation took place in 1937 under architect Axel Forssén, during which two windows in the chancel's angled walls and the large round window in the tower were bricked up. Further changes followed in 1953, when gallery understructures were added, again under Forssén, and in 1963 the interior was reordered under Erik Lundberg, including new arrangements around the altar and repainted pews.baptismal font, carved in 1963 to Lundberg's design, has a trefoil-shaped basin of red granite resting on a tall grey granite foot in the same form.
The pulpit's body dates from the time of the church's construction, though its canopy was newly made in 1937. The original altarpiece, now mounted on the gallery barrier, is an oil painting on canvas in a thin gilt frame depicting the Virgin and Child; it is a copy after Raphael's Madonnas, painted by Hulda Andersson of Kville around 1915. The organ dates from 1923 and was rebuilt in 1974.
