The church began as a Romanesque apse church built of stone and brick in the twelfth century. Towards the end of the medieval period it was lengthened and given cross-vaulted ceilings, and medieval ceiling paintings survive in the chancel. The slender spired tower is a much later addition, dating from 1883; before it was built, the church bells hung in a separate wooden bell frame south of the church.
Inside, the sandstone font dates from the 1100s, making it one of the oldest surviving furnishings, while a brass christening dish added in the early 1600s has served the same purpose for centuries since. The pulpit, carved in 1776, originally stood in the nearby Lilla Slågarps kyrka before being moved here; its rococo-inspired design takes the unusual form of a spiral-fluted chalice, a detail worth pausing over.
A triptych from 1872 decorates the church, its three painted panels showing figures copied from statues by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, linking this small rural church to wider European artistic currents of the nineteenth century.
The church has had at least two organs: an 1884 instrument by Salomon Molander & Co of Gothenburg, and the current mechanical organ built in 1980 by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund.
