Local tradition holds that the present building had a predecessor a few kilometres to the south: a medieval timber church or pilgrim chapel, said to have still shown visible remains as late as the 1700s. This earlier building's exact history is uncertain, and no firm details survive beyond this tradition.
The current church was constructed in 1822–1823 as a cruciform building in a restrained classicising style, built of timber with a straight-ended chancel to the east and transepts extending north and south. A tower with a lantern and dome rises at the western end. The exterior is clad in white-painted panelling, and the cross-shaped roof is covered in slate.
Among the furnishings, the oldest is a Renaissance-style oak pulpit with an octagonal body, dated 1669, said to have been a gift from Fryksände church. An octagonal wooden font from the 1920s stands in the southern part of the chancel. The altarpiece dates from 1937 and depicts Christ preaching, painted by Olle Hjortzberg.
The organ case, dating from 1859 and decorated in green with gilded ornament, was retained when a new pneumatic organ was built behind it in 1937 by Nordfors & Co of Lidköping, replacing an earlier instrument by E A Setterquist.
