The medieval church that once stood at Eskilstorp was demolished in 1873, but rather than clear the site entirely, the builders kept the lower part of its late medieval tower. A new brick nave with a five-sided chancel was added, and the rebuilt church was consecrated in 1874. In 1936 the tower itself was raised as part of a larger renovation directed by the architect Eiler Graebe, giving the church its present silhouette.
The oldest object inside is the font, carved in the 12th century and carried over from the earlier church. An altarpiece dated 1632, also rescued from the old building, was itself restored in the mid-1930s. Together these pieces link the present building to a much older place of worship on the same spot.
Among the church silver, a communion vessel from 1758 and a wafer box from 1699 are recorded, along with textiles attributed to the noted Swedish weaver Märta Måås-Fjetterström. The church also holds a mechanical organ built in 1975 by the Mårtensson organ workshop of Lund, successor to two earlier instruments installed in 1843 and 1924.
The church is still used for baptisms, weddings and funerals, as well as for concerts and occasional services, and seats around 190 people.
