Although the church appears uniform in grey limestone, it was actually built in distinct stages over several decades. The chancel and apse are the oldest parts, dating from the end of the twelfth century or the very beginning of the thirteenth. The nave followed around forty years later, its cross-vaults supported by a single central pillar, and the tower was added by the mid-thirteenth century. In the fourteenth century a Gothic window was inserted into the apse and the chancel arch was widened and given a pointed form.
The interior retains medieval wall paintings of real interest. The prolific fifteenth-century church painter known as the Passion Master, active in several Gotland churches, contributed a sequence of scenes depicting the Passion of Christ. Elsewhere, paintings of the apostles from the fourteenth century, each set within its own painted niche, decorate the tower chamber and nave.
Among the furnishings, the font stands out: its base is twelfth-century limestone work attributed to a carver known as Semibyzantios, while the bowl may date from the thirteenth century and was later painted in the eighteenth century. A second medieval font associated with the church is now held at the Gotland Museum rather than in the building itself. The medieval altar includes a relic cavity and a limestone slab marked with a consecration cross.
The carved and gilded oak altar cabinet dates from 1521 and depicts the Throne of Grace, with Saints Egidius and Olof flanking the central scene; its side doors carry further carved saints and painted scenes from saints' legends. The pulpit was made towards the end of the seventeenth century and painted in 1700, and the closed box pews in the nave date from the eighteenth century.
The church organ has its own history: an instrument with five stops was built in 1858 by Olof Niclas Lindqvist of Visby, and a new organ was acquired in 1901 from the Åkerman & Lund workshop in Stockholm, retaining the earlier neo-Gothic case front.
