The original church was constructed in Romanesque style, probably in the late twelfth or early thirteenth century, with an apse, chancel and a two-bay nave, and likely a west tower from an early stage. The nave is notably wider and taller than the chancel to its east.
Substantial alterations in the 1880s removed the late-medieval vaults and any wall paintings they carried, and it was during this rebuilding that the present tower was added. Further changes followed in the 1950s. As a result, little of the church's medieval fabric survives visibly today, though its shape and character still recall the earlier building.
Among the church's most notable furnishings are a triumphal crucifix dated to the thirteenth or fourteenth century and a font carved from Gotland limestone in the 1200s. The pulpit and altarpiece date from the seventeenth century. The current organ was built in 1981 by A. Mårtensson's Orgelfabrik of Lund, replacing an earlier instrument from 1911.
Just west of the church stands the Baldringe stone, a Viking Age rune stone raised in memory of a father described as a skilled and wise man. It is a striking reminder of the site's long history, predating the church itself.
The church has appeared on screen in two adaptations of Henning Mankell's Wallander novels, including a BBC production and a Swedish film, which may be of interest to visitors familiar with the detective series.
