Above the church entrance is the inscription: "On June 24, 1839, when Charles XIV Johan was King of Sweden, this church was built for the glory of God and the edification of the congregation." This is the first date mentioned in the church's history, but it was far from finished. It probably only had walls, a floor, a ceiling, windows, doors, a desk, and an altar; none of it was painted or decorated. The gallery was built in 1874. The church bells were purchased in 1883, and in the same year the old shingle roof was replaced with a tiled roof and a golden ball cross on the spire. In 1933–34, the church was thoroughly renovated, and a sacristy extension was added.
