Description The church was constructed in the middle of 12th century. The baptismal font was signed by a stone master named Mårten – the same name as Martin and probably was he also the master-builder of the church. The church had from the beginning a broad tower in the west, a nave and a choir in the east. In the beginning of the 14th century the choir was enlarged and the church was vaulted. Wall-paintings from 13th, 14th and 15th century are preserved in the church.
