Näskotts Church was originally a medieval wooden church built no later than the 15th century. It burned down during the courtship feud of 1611-1613. A few years after the fire (1613-14) a new wooden church was built, which was subsequently extended several times. The new church from the 19th century is now a folk church. Numerous items survive from medieval and 17th-century churches, including a sculpture of David playing the harp. The present church was built in stone in 1876-78 by master builder Olof Hillgren to drawings by Ernst Abraham Jacobsson, from which many variations were made. The church consists of a nave with an inwardly rounded chancel to the east, a sacristy to the north-east and a tower to the west with an armory on the ground floor and waiting rooms in a smaller annex to the north. During a renovation in 1952-54 according to plans by the architect Gösta Rollin, Östersund, the choir part, which was originally just at the end, was changed and today's inner apse with adjoining rooms was added. In 1973 the extension north of the tower was built.
