The location is a rocky site overlooking the square of the Stockholm suburb, designed by Erik and Tore Ahlsen in the 1940ies. The church is built next to an existing bell tower and a parish building from 1968. The structure is of loadbearing redbrown brick. The interior is light with the lower part all clad in white glazed brick. Along the walls is a continous glazed bench for seating. The interior plan is a square where the altar and baptismal font are fixed at linear positions in the centre. At the perimiter of the church are two small chapels and a sacristy clad in glazed bricks of green and cerise. The roof and ceiling is a perforated concrete slab with beams crossing the church.
