[2] The former building was seriously damaged by a fire on 5 April 1895 which broke out in the rectory west of the church.
Large sections of the church were relatively unscathed but, despite ministerial recommendations that the surviving elements should be taken into account in the rebuilding, the old structure was demolished on the grounds that a larger building was needed.
[2] The former red-brick building had consisted of a Romanesque chancel and nave and a Gothic porch.
Today's church consists of a chancel, a nave and a tower whose ground floor serves as a porch.
Also of note is the church clock which originally stood in Jægersborg Mansion.
