The history of the church goes back to the Middle Ages, when the original parish church was built on the site where the present church still stands today. Construction of the current church began in 1698 and was completed in 1705. Partly built on the old walls of the medieval church, today's church is a reminder of a bygone era.

Today, the church's ceiling is adorned with paintings paintings crafted by Johan Burman in 1770. These paintings have never been repainted, but in 1970 they underwent a restoration after two windows had been sealed. The paintings in the choir depict the Trinity, while the nave tells the story of the Last Judgment and depicts a majestic Jesus surrounded by the twelve apostles and the souls who have found their refuge in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The history of the Church is not only marked by devotion and quiet reflection. It has also witnessed the ravages of war. Kristian Tyrann, a powerful and feared king, crossed the Göta River just north of Kungälv in 1532. With his troops and his fighting spirit, he pushed through the surrounding countryside and camped near Skepplanda church. This event cast a shadow of uncertainty over the place, and the church became a symbol of both hope and fear for the people living nearby.

Skepplanda church is not only a building of stone, but also a carrier of the village's memories and experiences. Through the silent testimony of the stones, history continues to echo.
