According to tradition, most of the present church was built during the 13th century, reputedly by the master builder Lafrans Botvidarson, replacing an earlier 12th-century church on the site. The chancel and nave are thought to date from around the middle of the 1200s, with the tower added later the same century. A sacristy was added in the 1600s, and a buttress was built onto the north-western corner of the nave around the same period.
The vault paintings are considered among the church's most important features, dating from the latter part of the 13th century, possibly overlying earlier and simpler decoration. The nave walls also carry later medieval paintings from the 1400s, adding a further layer to the church's decorative history.
Among the furnishings, the triumphal crucifix is dated to around 1260, close in time to the vault paintings, while the font is attributed to the mid-13th century and is of the so-called 'paradise font' type found elsewhere on Gotland. The altarpiece, from the 1600s, is said to have come originally from the chapel of Visborg Castle, giving it an interesting provenance beyond the parish itself. The pulpit was built in 1733, a later addition that sits alongside these older medieval pieces.
The churchyard retains two medieval lychgates, set into the perimeter wall to the south and north, with traces of a third once present in the eastern wall — a reminder of how the boundaries of the churchyard have been used and adapted over the centuries.
The church has a mechanical organ built in 1964 by Andreas Thulesius of Klintehamn, notable for having a single shared swell box for the whole instrument.
