[2] During a large part of its history, the church functioned as a navigational aid for sea-farers, as it is located on a height not far from the sea.

[1] The church is built of local sandstone, except the entrance portals which are executed in more durable limestone.

The interior of the church is decorated with a suite of medieval murals depicting the Passion of Christ.

The perhaps most unusual piece from the church is an organ dating from 1370 and today also on display in the Museum of Gotland in Visby.

[1][2] Near the church are the relatively well-preserved ruins of a circular defensive tower, dating from the early Middle Ages.
