The nave, chancel and rounded apse date from the second half of the 12th century, a period when Skåne's earliest wooden stave churches were being replaced by stone buildings, often taking Lund Cathedral as their model. The church was built in the Romanesque style typical of the region at that time.
In the 15th century the building was extended westward by one bay and a tower was added, while the interior was given vaulted ceilings and enlarged windows. Since around 1500 the church's exterior has remained largely unaltered.
Inside, the pulpit is a notable survival from the reign of the Danish king Christian IV, dated to 1635. The altarpiece, depicting the scene at Gethsemane, was painted by Johan Gustaf Sandberg in 1849 and was later conserved.
The church also has an organ with a case dating back to an 1870 instrument by Sven Fogelberg of Lund; the current pneumatic organ behind that facade was built in 1937 by the Gothenburg firm M J & H Lindegren.
