A free standing bell tower was erected in 1755. The foundation consists of natural stone. The church has an octagonal floor plan. The church pulpit is carved by Jöns Ljungberg (1736-1818). The altarpiece was carved by Jonas Granberg (1696-1776) between 1770 and 1773. The church belongs to the parish of Hedebygden in the Diocese of Härnösand. [7]
