Jälluntofta church was built in 1860-62 and consecrated in 1865. It is built on the same site as the medieval church. The church was built by builder Johannes Bengtsson, Bökhult, after a missing drawing from about 1850. The tower has a steeple roof, an open lantern with a cornice-shaped roof and a cross.
