The church began life as a small Romanesque building, later extended in a transitional Gothic style during the Middle Ages, when vaulting was added in the 1300s and a west tower was built. It is first mentioned in written records in 1670.
The most dramatic changes came in 1884–85, when the church underwent substantial restoration and enlargement under architect Salomon Sörensen and builder Axel Svensson. Most of the old stepped tower was demolished down to the level of the nave, and a new tower with a spire was built outside its remains, altering the building's silhouette. A new chancel and sacristy were also added, the interior was repainted, new windows were installed or enlarged, and the whole roof was covered in galvanised sheet iron. The apse was likewise rebuilt during this period, further changing the church's appearance from its medieval form.
Inside, the vaults date from the fourteenth century. In the early twentieth century the decorative painter Svante Thulin of Lund was commissioned to unify the church's interior, adding decoration to the vault webs, arches and windows.
Among the furnishings, the altarpiece and pulpit both date from the sixteenth century. The altarpiece's original biblical texts were later replaced with painted scenes from the Old Testament and the life of Christ, while the pulpit retains some older carved woodwork; sources note both pieces were heavily restored and regilded in the 1880s.
The church's fine sandstone Romanesque font is no longer kept in the building itself. It is now held at the Historical Museum at Lund University, where it remains on deposit.
