The church was designed by Eiríkur Gíslason from Bitra in Hraungerðishreppur

On each side of the church are four windows, curved from the top with six-pane frames. Above the front door of the church are three windows. The church is clad in panel board with the chancel wall and the truss clad in flat slabs.
The church exterior was renovated, the tower rebuilt, concrete plastered, repairs to the frame and new windows installed as well as protective doors in 1993-97 under the supervision of Hjörleif Stefánsson.
