Because of its name, the town was likely of religious significance within the Old Norse religion before christianity was introduced to the area.

Torsager estate was reportedly owned by King Valdemar II in 1231, though it is likely that the bishop Peder Vognsen commissioned the church's construction.

This loft within the tower is relatively large, but is rarely used because the narrow staircase which accesses it would become a hazard in the event of a fire.

The altarpiece is a late gothic crucifix from the 15th century which bears the inscription "In me you shall have peace" (Danish: ”I mig skal I have fred”).

In the window above the altar hangs a piece of stained glass, created by the artist Harald Borre in 1955, which depicts the resurrection of Jesus.

The church's first series of renovations were conducted between 1877 and 1879 by Vilhelm Theodor Walther, the Royal Building Inspector of Jutland.

At the time, restorations generally sought to return buildings to their original form without regard to any additions that may have been made since.

During the renovation the majority of these were replaced by machine formed bricks; the original stones only remain on the northern side of the nave.
