The present stone church is thought to have been built early in the twelfth century, on top of a gravel ridge, and may have replaced an earlier timber chapel. In the fourteenth century the building was enlarged: the nave was extended eastwards, the old chancel demolished, and a new one constructed in its place.
The oldest surviving object inside is a font dating from the twelfth century, upon which rests a brass basin added in 1943 — a small but tangible link across eight centuries of continuous use.
A gilded altar cross was acquired in 1882. According to one source, the medieval altarpiece from the 1400s was afterwards relegated to storage as firewood for the poor, an evocative if slightly startling detail about how older furnishings were sometimes treated once replaced.
The church has had more than one organ. An instrument built in the 1750s by Jonas Gren and Petter Stråhle of Stockholm was moved here from Helgarö kyrka in 1862. It was eventually superseded by the current organ, built in 1909 by E A Setterquist & Son of Örebro and later modified in 1965.
