The church was constructed in the late 1100s or early 1200s, making it one of the many small Romanesque-era churches scattered across the Söderslätt countryside. Its original flat timber ceiling was replaced in the 1400s, when cross-vaults were added to the chancel and three vaults were built into the nave, giving the interior the stone-vaulted character typical of Scanian churches of that period.
The tower seen today was raised in 1852, replacing an earlier freestanding bell frame (klockstapel) that had previously served the church. This kind of change, from a separate wooden bell tower to a masonry tower attached to the church, was common in the region during the nineteenth century.
Inside, visitors can see an altarpiece depicting the Last Supper, and a pulpit dating from 1623, which is a notable survival from the early seventeenth century and one of the church's oldest fittings.
The church's organ has an interesting history: a harmonium was used before a proper pipe organ was installed. The current mechanical organ was built in 1972 by the Lund-based firm J. Künkels Orgelverkstad AB, and remains in use.
