The church was built in the second half of the 12th century. It consists of a nave, choir and apse, as well as a western vestibule (with thicker walls than the rest of the church) in Romanesque style. On the north side there is a porch and the sacristy. Like the tower, they date from around 1500. The sacristy was rebuilt in 1777 and used as a burial place for the Benzon family. There are a south and a north portal, both with freestanding columns and tympanum. The south door is bricked up, the north portal is inside the porch.
