History

The building was built between 1593 to 1619. It was dedication in 1625. The floorplan is a quarantine late Gothic hall church with the hint of cross-arms. The unpainted natural stone facades and tower spire were first added in 1905 at time of a restoration directed by Folke Zettervall. The altar essay and pulpit in Baroque were performed in 1701 by Börje Löfman. The freestanding limestone altar were added during the restoration of 1958-1959 under the direction of Rolf Bergh (1919-2005). In 1938, Frobenius Orgelbyggeri built a new pneumatic organ with partially recycled pipe material. [2][3]
