History and architecture
The wooden church was built in 1926, designed by engineer Simon Svensson and was consecrated the same year by bishop Johan Alfred Eklund. A larger renovation and conversion was made in 1957 under the supervision of architect Verner Johansson. That was when the church porch was added and the sacristy extended. The style of the church is a typical 1920s Classicism.
A separate bell tower was built in 1933.
