The church was built in Romanesque style, likely by craftsmen connected to the workshop responsible for Lund Cathedral, and originally comprised a narrow west tower, nave, chancel and apse. Gothic star vaults were added to the nave in the mid-1400s, and the present tower dates from the 1500s. A porch, thought to have been built in the 14th or 15th century, once stood on the south side but was demolished in 1869; its materials were reused to build the parish house outside the churchyard wall, which has housed a small church museum since 1996.
A striking feature of the site is the medieval churchyard wall with its lychgates (stigluckor), an arrangement rarely preserved today. The church stands beside an Iron Age burial field, and some of the flat stones capping the wall are said to have been taken from there.
Inside, visitors can see two fonts of very different character. The older, a medieval stone font, was missing for around three hundred years and is said to have been used, among other things, as a pig trough before being returned to the church in the mid-20th century. The younger font, in oak, dates from the 1600s and matches the altarpiece in style. The Baroque altarpiece is dated 1636, and the richly carved pulpit from the mid-1600s depicts Christ and the four evangelists.
A burial chapel added in the 1700s was funded by a former owner of nearby Wanås Castle, and she and several family members are said to be buried beneath its floor.
The church's organ has a layered history: an 1837 instrument by Pehr Zacharias Strand was later replaced, and the current organ, built in 1982, is a mechanical reconstruction of the 1837 design, incorporating its original façade and many of its pipes.
