The church has been rebuilt and repaired after fires in 1681, 1727 and 1822. The tower was built in 1681. A renovation was carried out in 1914-1915 after drawings by architect Karl Anton Berlin (1871-1924). A major renovation occurred in 1938-1940 under the direction of architect Sigfrid Ericson (1879-1958). The painted decoration of the walls were made in Art Nouveau style after sketches by artist Carl Filip Månsson  (1864-1933). The neoclassical altarpiece was performed during 1839-40 by Johannes Andersson of Mjöbäck (1780-1860). The current baptismal font and pulpit was designed in 1916 by Sigfrid Ericson and were both sculpted by Johan Björk of Gothenburg. Birger Forell (1893-1958) was a priest in the Caroli Church in Borås from 1942 to 1951. In 1944, he founded the Committee for Christian post-war assistance at Borås. References
