A stone church dedicated to Saint Mary is believed to have stood here since the 1100s, serving during the Middle Ages as the church of Tommarps monastery, home to the Premonstratensian order. That earlier building was small, roughly twelve metres long, and roofed with lead; when it was later demolished, quantities of lead were found melted into the walls, evidence of a past fire.
The present church was completed in 1857 in a neo-Gothic style, initially retaining the medieval tower from its predecessor. This arrangement did not last: in 1888 the old tower was taken down and replaced with the tower seen today, designed by the architect Agi Lindegren. The building now consists of a nave with a rounded sacristy to the east and the tower to the west, with the main entrance on the tower's south side. Stepped gables and decorative eaves give the exterior its character.
Inside, the vaulted ceiling and the wall separating the choir from the sacristy reflect the taste of the late 1800s. Most of the original decorative wall and ceiling paintings have since been removed, though a painted star-covered ceiling survives in the sacristy. An older font, cast in coloured brick and decorated with angel figures, stands in the porch; it has not been used for baptisms since 1955.a
The altarpiece, "Christus Consolator", was painted by Almén in 1886 and is a copy of Carl Bloch's altarpiece in Hörup church. The pulpit displays five carved panels depicting Christ and the four evangelists; these figures were salvaged from an earlier pulpit dating from the early 1600s, giving the Victorian-era church a tangible link to its older furnishings.
The current font, of carved sandstone with an eight-sided, fluted form, was made in 1958 to a design by Torsten Leon Nilsson. Behind it stands a modern image of the Madonna, created in 2007 by Ralf Broselius.
