Built of red brick but now whitewashed, the church consists of a Romanesquechancel andnave and aGothic porch andsacristy. A 14th-century timber bell tower stands close to the church's northwest corner. There are two small Romanesque windows on the chancel gable, now both bricked up. The east gable is also decorated with a round-arch frieze. The original flat wooden ceiling was replaced in the Gothic period with a star-shaped vault in the chancel and two cross-vaults in the nave.[2][1]
In a Neo-Gothic frame, thealtarpiece contains a painting of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane byFrederik Christian Lund in 1872.
