On 26 May 1420, Skejby Church was annexed by the bishop of the Diocese of Aarhus in order to establish a parish and control the appointment of the priest.

During the Swedish Wars in the 1630s and 1660s, the church suffered from pillaging and loss of tithe as members of the congregation were impoverished.

The church and parish has since been controlled by Aarhus bishopric until the state confiscated it during the reformation.

[4] The church is whitewashed with many visible granite ashlars and consists of a romanesque choir and nave.

The tower with pinnacle adorned gables was built in 1910, and the whitewashed chapel in gothic style in 1904.
