The two supplied sources disagree on the church's earliest date: one describes it as built during the 1000s, while the Wikipedia entry states its oldest parts date from the latter part of the 1100s, with an inscribed consecration date given as the 1100s. Whichever is correct, the church is clearly of great age, constructed chiefly of grey fieldstone that remains visible in the walls today. The building was extended on several occasions over the centuries.
In 1754 a timber transept was added on the north side, and the altar was moved to the south wall of the nave as a result. The church's external form has remained essentially unchanged since then.
Inside, the chancel and the area around the triumphal arch carry wall paintings dating from the 1200s, while further paintings in the apse were added in the 1600s. Among the fittings are a wooden crucifix attributed to a workshop in Östergötland from the mid-1300s, a pulpit from 1659 and an altarpiece from 1770.
The timber bell tower dates from the 1700s. One of the church bells is unusually richly decorated, showing Christ on the cross flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist alongside Saint Lawrence, together with a small scene of a fox and geese — the fox blowing a horn, a goose ringing a bell, and finally the fox hanging from a gallows at the geese's hands. This lively imagery is understood to symbolise the struggle between good and evil.
The organ has its own layered history: an eighteenth-century positive organ by Lars Wahlberg and Anders Wollander was altered in the 1880s, largely rebuilt behind its original case in 1937, and later reconstructed in the early 2000s to restore something closer to its original character, incorporating surviving pipework from the 1775 instrument.
