It was designed by architect Helgo Zettervall (1831-1907) in gothic revival style. The altar is made of uncut cement. The decorative painting in the church is made by Svante Thulin (1837-1918). The baptismal font is made of polished cement and includes a copper bowl. It is performed by Sven Bengtsson. The altarpiece essay shows a crucifix and was made of wood by Carl Johan Dyfverman (1844-1892).
