An earlier Romanesque church stood here, probably built towards the end of the 1100s or early 1200s. A nineteenth-century account describes it as roughly 27 metres long and 6 metres wide, originally without a tower; the nave was later lengthened. After the timber bell tower fell into disrepair, a new neoclassical tower was built in 1839 to designs by Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander, and this tower was retained when the medieval church was eventually judged unsound and demolished.
The current church was built between 1880 and 1882 under master builder A. J. Hallberg, incorporating the 1839 tower. It was consecrated on 5 November 1882, and, according to a contemporary newspaper report, the zinc roof was blown off in a violent storm the very next day. Further roof repairs followed in 1897 and 1899, with a larger renovation in 1906 that included a new floor. A more thorough restoration in 1921 altered the church's appearance considerably, with a rebuilt altarpiece, new pews, a replacement organ and the installation of central heating.
The altarpiece, by Danish artist Almar Bech, depicts the risen Christ's meeting with Mary Magdalene, showing the unusual moment when Jesus gestures for her not to touch him. In the pulpit sits an hourglass frame that actually holds three separate hourglasses dated 1793. The carved sandstone font, attributed to the so-called Mörarp Master, dates from the 1100s or 1200s and bears reliefs of Christ, two angels and small towers; a brass font dish from the late 1500s is also kept in the church.
A Limoges processional crucifix and censer, both made in the 1200s and once belonging to the church, are now held at Lund University's historical museum rather than on site. The tower holds two bells: a smaller one thought to be medieval, recast in 1718, and a larger one cast in 1845 by Seipel and Liljendahl of Stockholm. The current organ, built in 1967 by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund, incorporates an older case and replaced two earlier instruments, one of which had originally come from Strövelstorps kyrka.
