The nave of this whitewashed stone church originates from the 1200s and was built in the Romanesque style. It was lengthened westward in the 17th century, and a rebuilding in 1816–1817 gave it its present cross-shaped plan, with a straight-ended chancel to the east and raised walls. The stone west tower, topped with a copper spire in a national romantic style, was added in 1926, replacing an earlier 18th-century timber tower.
During a restoration in 1960, medieval wall paintings were uncovered inside the church. The clearest, dating from the 15th century, depict scenes from Gethsemane and the Crucifixion, while fainter and older paintings from the 14th century are thought to show the baptism of Christ. The walls were repainted and the medieval paintings conserved again in 2009.
Among the church's furnishings is a stone font attributed to the 13th century, carved by a font-maker whose signature appears on the bowl — a rare feature among Halland's medieval fonts. Related works by the same craftsman have been identified elsewhere in the region between northern Halland and southern Bohuslän.
The altarpiece and pulpit, both carved, painted and gilded in 1655, are considered among the finest examples of their kind in Halland. Unusually, the altarpiece carries inscriptions in Danish, despite Halland having belonged to Sweden for a decade by that time. The pulpit, originally placed on the south side, was moved to the north side during the 1817 rebuilding; its painted panels depict scenes including the Last Judgement, Christ's agony in Gethsemane, his arrest, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.
The church is also known locally for a rose bush that grows through the outer wall and into one of the windows, a distinctive and long-remembered detail for visitors.
