The Romanesque sections of the church probably date from the beginning of the 13th century but the first documented reference is in the Bishop of Roskilde's Taxation Book (Roskildebispens Jordebog) c. 1370.

Probably as far back as the 13th century, the nave was lengthened towards the west, the lateral walls being constructed of chalk and fieldstone while the gable was brick.

[2] The porch was originally built of brick in the late Middle Ages but was later heightened while new doors and windows were added.

[2] The granite font in the Romanesque style has rope-like framing around 11 rounded segments and a thicker rope decoration just above the base.

[6] The arch of the Romanesque window at the centre of the north wall is decorated with 14th-century russet-brown frescos which were rediscovered in 1914 after being limewashed at the time of the Reformation.
