The church was built of the pale sandstone typical of southern Gotland, giving it a somewhat austere, weathered character. The chancel and nave were likely constructed together in the first half of the 13th century, with the notably sturdy tower—wider than the nave itself—added around the mid-1200s. The tower originally had gabled crowns on each side and probably a tall spire, but this was lowered in 1826 and replaced with the current blunt lantern roof.
The churchyard still retains much of its medieval character, including three small stepped-gable lychgates surviving on the north and south sides. Entrances lead into the nave and chancel from the south, and into the tower from the north. The southern portals are Romanesque with simple mouldings, while the north portal is Gothic in style. The windows on the east, south and west sides are original to the building.
A curious medieval ship carving can be seen in the plasterwork on the outer north wall of the nave—an intriguing detail for visitors to look out for. Inside, the church preserves a well-maintained Romanesque interior. Wall paintings date from the 15th century, while the large triumphal crucifix, whose ring-cross nearly fills the triumphal arch, is thought to date from the 13th century.
The altar cabinet was made in the 15th century, and the pulpit, dated 1587, is among the oldest on Gotland. A medieval limestone holy water basin survives in the inner reveal of the north portal, a small but evocative reminder of the church's long devotional history.
The current organ was built in 1970 by Anders Perssons Orgelbyggeri and is mechanical; before its installation, a harmonium was used in the church.
