It belongs to the Church of Sweden and lies in the Diocese of Visby.

According to the Gutasaga, one of the earliest churches on Gotland was built in Fardhem.

It is considered to be one of the best-preserved Romanesque churches on Gotland (at least externally).

It is decorated with a few rather primitive sculpted elements, difficult to interpret.

The baptismal font is Romanesque, probably a work by the sculptor known by the notname Semi-Byzantios, but only the foot remains.
