The oldest parts of the church are built in Romanesque style during the late 12th century or early 13th century. In the 15th century a chapel was built in the north. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Anne. The vaults were built in the 15th century with murals from the 1480s, showing stories from Genesis. These were later painted over, but again restored in the 20th century.
The pulpit is made in oak 1704–1705. It is decorated with various wood sculptures and gildings. The baptismal font is from the Middle Ages and made of sandstone. In the 17th century a grave chapel was built to the south for the members of the Barnekow family.[2]
