The Hedrum church is a medieval stone church, built in granite of different shades. The original plaster of the exterior walls was removed in 1920 and the walls have remained bare since then.

The windows of the church are also posterior to the Reformation, with the exception of the east window of the apse. The bell tower painted red on the west side dates from 1859.
