The earlier church here was a Romanesque stone structure that had been extended and altered repeatedly since early medieval times. Its walls were built of granite with sandstone cornices, and by the end of the Middle Ages the interior had been given brick cross-vaulting. Shortly before it was demolished, the medieval church was carefully measured and recorded by the architect and antiquarian Carl Georg Brunius, a step that suggests the decision to replace it was not taken lightly.
The present church was built in 1867–68 to designs by the architect Peter Christian Sörensen. Notably, the tower was not entirely new: it dated from 1823 and was retained from the old church, giving the building a slightly composite character despite its otherwise mid-19th-century appearance.
Among the older furnishings that survived the rebuilding is a sandstone font dating from the 13th century, with a rounded, kettle-shaped bowl typical of medieval Scanian work. The altarpiece structure dates from the 1600s, though the painting it now frames was added in the following century. Two church bells, both cast in Malmö in the 1700s by Andreas Wetterholtz, also remain in use, although the smaller bell was recast in 1948.
The church's first organ was built in 1868 by Jöns Lundahl of Malmö. It was replaced in 1902 by an instrument built by Thorsell & Erikson of Gothenburg, a mechanical organ later modified in 1967. Visitors interested in church organs may find its slightly unusual pneumatic-assisted (Roosevelt-type) wind-chest construction worth a mention, though the details are largely of specialist interest.
