Today's stone church in the late Gustavian style was built in 1780 - 1794 about a hundred meters north-west of the former chapel. The cornerstone was laid in 1771-1773, but work was stopped and only resumed in 1780. The church was commissioned in 1789 and completed in 1794, when it was also consecrated. The church building consists of a rectangular nave with a straight choir in the east. East of the sanctuary is a three-sided sacristy the width of the nave. To the west is a square steeple with an octagonal top and onion-shaped roof. The main entrance is on the ground floor of the tower. Another entrance is in the middle of the south side of the nave. The nave has a mansard roof that is hipped to the east over the sacristy. The interior ceiling of the church has a wooden barrel vault, which received decorative paintings during a restoration in the 1950s. The church interior has brick floors in the aisles and wooden floors in the pews.
