The church's core dates largely from the late 1100s, when local parishioners chose to replace an earlier structure—possibly a wooden church on the same site—with a sturdier building of grey stone in the Romanesque style. An extension to the west of the tower was added at some point during the 1200s or 1300s, reflecting the church's gradual growth over the centuries.
In the 1400s the interior was reworked with brick pillars and vaulting, and the walls were decorated with painted scenes depicting the later life of Adam and Eve, attributed to the so-called Vittskövle group of church painters. A north transept was built in the 1500s, originally serving as a burial chapel rather than as worship space.
As the congregation grew, a south transept of similar size to its northern counterpart was added in 1796 to provide more room. Later, during a restoration in 1859, the burial chamber beneath the north transept was sealed and the space converted into an ordinary part of the church interior, fitted with pews.
Among the church's furnishings is an oak sculpture of Mary cradling the body of Christ taken down from the cross, dated to around 1430—a poignant survival from the church's late medieval devotional life. The present font, carved from white marble, was added in the 1800s.
The church has had several organs over its history, the earliest recorded being built in 1755 by Henrik Rudolf Braune of Malmö, followed by an instrument from Sven Fogelberg of Lund in 1870. The current organ, built in 1943 by the Mårtensson organ works of Lund, remains in the church today.
