The current church was built between 1792 and 1795 under the direction of master builder Simon Geting, replacing an earlier stone church of 1540 that was demolished the same year. That second church had itself succeeded the first stone building on the site, a medieval chapel known as Jungfru Maria kapell (the Chapel of the Virgin Mary). Traces of these earlier church buildings can still be found in the grounds of the neighbouring rectory, which is thought to have been built in the 1880s.
The present church is constructed of stone and follows a traditional plan, with a nave and chancel to the east and a tower at the western end.
Among the church's furnishings is a pulpit dating from 1734, which predates the current building and was presumably carried over from its predecessor. A painted image of the Madonna, also inherited from the older church, survives as a further link to the site's medieval origins.
