The chancel and nave were built in the Romanesque style during the first half of the thirteenth century, with the tower added around 1300. A restoration in 1916 uncovered timber flooring beneath the church, which turned out to belong to an earlier stave church; dendrochronological analysis has suggested a date after around 1085, making it evidence of an earlier structure on the site. At the same time, medieval wall paintings were revealed and conserved. The church underwent a further thorough restoration, both inside and out, between 1969 and 1971.
Among the church's most notable furnishings is a remarkably well-preserved font, carved towards the end of the twelfth century by the stonemason Sighraf. Its relief carvings depict a sequence of scenes from the Christmas story, including the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Magi's dream and journey on horseback.
Other interior features include a well-preserved image of the Madonna dating from around 1500, and a pulpit with sounding board installed in 1731 and painted in 1754. The pews retain floral decoration from the first half of the eighteenth century, typical of Gotland's rural churches of that period.
The church has had several organs over the years, including instruments built in 1856 and 1962, the latter a mechanical organ; an intermediate instrument was reportedly moved here in 1916 from a church in Gothenburg, though details of this transfer are not independently confirmed.
