The original medieval church had two towers, one of them free-standing, though only the lower part of one tower survives. In the 1840s, cathedral architect Carl Georg Brunius was asked to extend the building eastward, but during the work the walls of the nave lost their support and the vaults collapsed. The decision was taken to build an entirely new church, largely on the foundations of the old one, to designs by Brunius as later revised by Johan Adolf Hawerman, and it was completed by master mason Magnus Cederholm in 1849.
Most of the furnishings from the medieval church, including altar decoration and the pulpit, were sold off in the summer of 1848 before the rebuilding. A stone wall was raised around the churchyard in 1851, later replaced by a wrought-iron fence in 1890, and the roof was changed from paper to tile in 1935.
The most notable survival from the medieval building is the font, carved in relief with scenes from the early life of Christ, including the Annunciation and the visit of the Magi. It is attributed to the Gotland stonemason Sighraf, who also made the font at Hannas kyrka; sources differ on its date, with one placing it in the twelfth century and another in the thirteenth.
The altarpiece, depicting Christ praying in the garden of Gethsemane, was painted by Bengt Nordenberg; the two sources give slightly different years for this, 1868 and 1869. The pulpit was designed by Johan Fredrik Åbom in 1849, contemporary with the new church. A wooden figure of the Virgin Mary by local carver Carsten Nilsson of Hammenhög was added to the church in 2007.
The church bells are also of interest: the older, larger bell carries an inscription in Gothic script quoting the Angel Gabriel's greeting to Mary, while the younger bell bears a Latin motto and a date of 1575. The organ has been rebuilt several times, most recently in 2003 by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund, though the facade of an earlier nineteenth-century instrument has been retained.
