The present church stands on ground with a long history of worship. It followed a Viking-era stave church, thought to have stood near what is now the parish hall, and later a medieval stone church dating from the last quarter of the 12th century. That Romanesque building was altered repeatedly over the centuries, gaining a tower in the 1300s and transepts in the 1830s; its tower stood some 15 metres east of where the current chancel now stands.
The church built in 1903–04 was designed in the neo-Gothic style favoured for many Swedish parish churches of the period, constructed of red brick with stepped gables on all four sides of the tower and a three-sided chancel. The builder is recorded as P. Pettersson, known locally as "Kjårke-Pittersen", from Mellan-Grevie.
Several older fittings were carried over from the medieval church. A Romanesque font carved from sandstone survives, along with a pulpit dated to 1595 and an altarpiece from 1596, both traditionally attributed to the sculptor Daniel Tommisen.
The church's organ history is unusually eventful. An instrument existed before 1749, and a replacement was bought that year and later moved and repainted. A nine-stop organ followed in 1874, and a fourteen-stop organ by Eskil Lundén of Gothenburg was installed in 1904. A mechanical organ by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik was added in 1975, and in 2018 a further organ arrived: originally built in 1937 by the Norwegian organ builder Hilmar Jörgensen for Nordstrand church in Oslo, it was bought in 2014, restored, electrified, and installed with its façade returned to its 1904 appearance.
