The present building was designed by Jacob Wulff and completed in 1799, though it was not formally consecrated until 1803. It was constructed around the earlier medieval church, which was demolished once the new building was ready to use. According to older oral tradition, the church was built large enough to accommodate soldiers marching from the Hultsfred plain, though this account cannot be independently verified.
The church originally seated around 1,200 people, but following later renovations that removed pews, capacity is now closer to 700. It is said to be the second-largest rural church in the diocese, after Lofta kyrka in Västervik municipality.
Inside the chancel are two altarpieces, unusually placed either side of a wooden cross rather than a single central image. The sculptor Jonas Berggren contributed two sculptures to the church, along with its number boards and pulpit.
The church contains a pneumatic gallery organ from 1940 by A. Magnussons Orgelbyggeri of Gothenburg, incorporating a façade retained from an earlier 1802 organ by Pehr Schiörlin. A smaller mechanical chancel organ, designed by architect Torsten Leon-Nilson and built by Västbo Orgelbyggeri, was installed in the late 1960s. A Yamaha grand piano is also kept in the church.
