Located in Båstad, seat of Skåne County in southern Sweden, it belongs to the Diocese of Lund.

The hexagonal choir wall at the eastern end of the building was completed in the 1470s and is reminiscent of that in St Mary's Church, Ystad.

The church walls and vaults contain late Gothic murals painted by different 15th century masters.

On the chancel wall, there is a painting of the martyrdom of Saint Erasmus with two executioners opening his stomach while God leads his soul into heaven.

In the nave, the east vault displays three male heads while an arch to the south aisle has vestiges of Christ as a man of sorrow.
