A church is recorded on this site from the twelfth century, originally a small Romanesque stone building. By the later 1800s the congregation felt it was too small and in poor repair, and a new church was commissioned from architect Albert Törnqvist, built between 1872 and 1874 in a Gothic style with pointed arches and windows. Local tradition holds that the new building was raised around the old one, which served as a kind of scaffold before being demolished, though this account should be treated as local lore rather than confirmed fact.
Some fragments of the medieval church survive elsewhere: portal sculptures are held at Lund University's historical museum, and sections of masonry from the old tower are said to be incorporated into the present tower. Gravestones displaced by the rebuilding were reportedly taken by relatives and ended up scattered in village gardens and even used as doorsteps.
The most notable surviving object is the font, carved around 1200 and decorated with leaf scrolls on the bowl and lions at the base — a rare survival from the earlier church that remains in use today. The altar features a copy of Thorvaldsen's well-known Christ statue, ordered from a Copenhagen workshop.
Other furnishings rescued from the old church, including an older pulpit, painted gallery fronts and statues of the evangelists dating from the 1600s and 1700s, were for many years stored out of sight in the tower loft. In 2012 the parish council arranged for these to be examined, cleaned and conserved by specialists, and much of this material can now be seen inside the church, with information provided on site about the individual pieces.
The church organ dates from 1883, built by Knud Olsen of Copenhagen, and was later modified in the 1960s; it remains a mechanical instrument typical of many Swedish parish churches of the period.
