The church consists of a nave with a narrower chancel and a round apse to the east. North of the choir is a sacristy. On the west side of the nave there is a church tower, with the same width as the nave. The tower is crowned with a wooden lantern.

The church was built in Romanesque style in the 12th century and then consisted of nave, choir and apse. During the late Middle Ages, the church was extended to the west. It was probably then that the church's ceilings were provided with cross vaults. Possibly the sacristy, a church tower and a coat of arms in the south were added then. 1676–1687 the church was rebuilt and got its current length. The old tower was partially demolished and the remaining walls became an extension of the nave to the west. A new tower was built west of the old one. The choir was decorated with chalk paintings. In 1816, the southern armory was demolished and a new armory was housed in the west facade of the tower. At the same time, the tower was rebuilt to its current appearance and had a roof with the lantern.
