The white, stone church was built in a octagonal design in 1810 using plans drawn up by the architect Abraham Pihl.

The original long church design was enlarged in 1675 when a wing was added on the north side of the nave.

The church burned down in a few hours, but the altar silver and pictures as well as some ornaments were saved.

Parish priest Abraham Pihl was given the task of designing and building a new church.

It was the parish priest of the place, Abraham Pihl, who designed the church, and who was partly responsible for the construction management.

The new church was completed and put into use starting on 22 April 1810, although it was not formally consecrated until 30 November 1810.
