A 17th-century altarpiece donated by Samuel Perman

A reproduction of a 17th-century depiction of Jesus on the cross occupies the north wall of Gamla kyrkan. This artwork was donated by Samuel Perman, who served as one of the town's officials in the early history of Östersund. The painting originally belonged to a provisional place of worship that was in use starting in 1794.

Work began on the current wooden church in 1834, and it was consecrated on New Year's Day 1846. The building features a timber frame and yellow-painted exterior walls. From the previous place of worship, the church also houses a psalm board that was likely carved in the 1790s.

Modern comforts were added over time, with heating installed in 1878 and electric light in 1890. The church, located about 800 metres north of Stora kyrkan in the Staden district, belongs to the Östersund parish in the Härnösand diocese.
