Designed by architect Gustaf Hermansson [sv], it is one of the most accomplished examples of 19th-century church architecture in Skåne.

It contains a medieval bronze baptismal font of northern German origin, the only one of its kind in the province.

In the early 19th century, it was considered too small for the congregation, and it was substantially enlarged and altered between 1843 and 1846, partially to designs by Carl Georg Brunius.

Although the winner of the competition was architect Axel Anderberg, the church council decided to go ahead with the designs submitted by Hermansson instead, probably because his proposal was deemed to be cheaper to build.

It is unusually tall, the tower reaching 66 metres (217 ft), and has been described as one of the most accomplished examples of 19th-century church architecture in Skåne.
