The present church was built in the late 1200s or early 1300s, in a transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic. It is thought that an earlier wooden church may have stood on the same site as far back as the 1100s. The building can seat up to 260 people.
Fragments of the medieval roof structure survive above the nave and choir, though the timberwork has been heavily rebuilt over the centuries with later reinforcements. Sources suggest the nave roof structure was raised around 1349, and traces in the construction hint that the vaulting may once have included tierceron-style ribs. The original barrel vault was replaced with the present brick vaulting in the 1400s.
Among the furnishings, a pulpit dates from 1806 but incorporates older sections from 1652, while the current altarpiece was added in 1772. A notable survival is a bridal bench standing against the south wall of the choir, said to date from the 1200s or 1300s. There are also old graves within the choir itself.
Just south of the church stands a freestanding bell tower with a medieval timber frame, reportedly built from wood felled in the 1290s, though its present appearance is the result of rebuilding in 1817 and 1895. The churchyard, which now extends over the site of a former rectory demolished in the 1960s, is the resting place of the industrialist Hans von Kantzow and the singer Thore Skogman.
The church today is used mainly for funerals, baptisms and weddings, with occasional services and concerts. Its current organ was built in 1957 by the German firm Emil Hammer Orgelbau and later renovated in the 1980s, replacing several earlier instruments that had served the church since at least the 1600s.
