About this building
The Romanesque tower is the oldest part of the church, built in the 12th century. The nave and choir of the original church were rebuilt in a Gothic style the 13th century. In the 19th century, the sacristy was added to the church. It is the only non-medieval part of the building.
The exterior of the church displays numerous 12th-century reliefs, probably taken from an earlier church and incorporated into this one.
The chancel preserves some remnants of wall paintings. The church preserves the baptismal font, built by the Gotland Romanesque sculptor Hegvald, whose baptismal fonts have also been preserved in many other churches on the island.
