Tibirke church was probably built between 1120-30 as a small Romanesque church. Towards the end of the 14th century, the church was extended with the western part and the original flat beamed ceiling was replaced by a vaulted ceiling. At the same time, the original small windows were replaced with larger ones in Gothic style. In the middle of the 15th century, the original choir was replaced by a wider one. The tower dates from the first half of the 16th century. The church chairs are from 1550-1575.
