A stone church, likely preceded by a wooden building, was erected on this site at the end of the twelfth century. It underwent various alterations during the nineteenth century, and by the century's close there were plans for major rebuilding, including a new tower. Instead, in 1904 the parish council decided to demolish the old church entirely and build anew. It was pulled down in spring 1905, reportedly the last medieval church in Skåne to be demolished.
The present church, designed in Gothic style by master builder Per Pettersson, was consecrated on the fourth Sunday of Advent in 1906. It is built of rendered fieldstone and has a narrow, pointed tower. The exterior has changed appearance over the decades: the render was renewed in 1969, when the church was repainted white having previously been yellow, and the tower and roofs were later restored and repainted again in the early 2000s.
Several notable furnishings survive from earlier periods. The pulpit dates from 1635 and is a Baroque work bearing the monogram of King Christian IV. The altarpiece, from 1652 and positioned behind the font, depicts Jesus having his feet anointed by Mary Magdalene. The chancel window, by an unidentified German glass artist, shows the Transfiguration with Moses, Elijah and the disciples Peter, James and John.
In the porch stands an oak door dating from the thirteenth century, which was exhibited at the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö in 1914; bullet holes in its lintel are said to bear witness to past conflict. Beneath the organ loft hang boards recording the names of the parish's incumbent priests since 1650, alongside a memorial letter for King Charles XI following his death in 1697.
The church has two bells, one from the fifteenth century and a second donated in 1912, cast at the same foundry and to a very similar pattern as the great bell of Västra Torup church. The tower clock was a gift from local siblings in 1959. The organ was rebuilt in 1964 using a new case, and a smaller mechanical choir organ was added in 1979.
