The present church was built between 1870 and 1871 in a neo-Gothic style, with a tower and a three-sided chancel. It was designed by the master builder P. O. Strandqvist of Lund, though his plans were subsequently reworked by the architect Per Ulrik Stenhammar. The church was consecrated in August 1871, replacing a medieval predecessor that dated back to the twelfth century.
In 1900 the decorative painter Cedervall of Trelleborg gave the interior its dark colour scheme, a treatment that still shapes the atmosphere inside today.
Despite the rebuilding, a number of older furnishings were carried over into the new church. A crucifix and a chandelier both survive from the fifteenth century, offering a direct link to the earlier medieval building. The pulpit, dated 1605, is the work of Andreas Jacobi of Trelleborg, while the altarpiece, depicting the Resurrection morning, was painted in 1927 by Hugo Gehlin.
The church bells are also of considerable age: the larger bell was cast in 1571 by the Dutch founder Heinricus de Borch, and the smaller one in 1730 by Andreas Wetterholtz of Malmö.
The organ is a notable feature. An earlier instrument built in 1842 by Pehr Lund of Lund was transferred into the new building, but the organ heard today was built in 1888 by Rasmus Nilsson of Malmö, with a façade designed by the Malmö architectural firm Lindvall & Cronsjö. It is considered one of Nilsson's best-preserved instruments and was later renovated in 1913 and again in 1981.
