History

In the 12th century a church with tower in west in Romanesque art was built. In the 13th century it was rebuilt and became an aisleless church and in west naves were built. A few centuries later the church became greater in south and got two naves. Until 1829 the church had a belltower, built of Middle Age "kastal".

The Middle Age church was demolished when a new neo-classical church was built 1829–34. Architect was Per Axel Nyström. In 1968 the church burnt. A new church was built 1971–72, architect was Jerk Alton, and the new church was opened on the 1st Sunday of Advent by bishop Tord Simonsson. There is a small museum in the bell tower.
