Built during the 12th and 13th centuries, it contains fragments of murals showing influences from Byzantine art.

While the oldest parts of Havdhem Church have been identified as being from the first half of the 12th century, graves dating from the period of the arrival of Christendom to Gotland (11th century) have been discovered in the cemetery.

The apse was added to the choir at approximately the same time as the nave was built.

The church tower dates from the middle of the 13th century and was originally slightly higher.

[1] Internally, the apse retains a few fragments of murals displaying Byzantine influences.
