The church is erected by limestone, which was left unpowered on the tower. It consists of straight-ended cows with sacristy in the north, higher and wider long houses and towers in the west, whose walls do not reach the long roof roof of the longhouse. Entrances are in the longhouse and the choir to the south and to the tower to the west. The oldest part of the church is the tower, which was erected about 1200 next to a slightly older walled church with absid, from which, among other things, foundation walls were preserved. In the middle of the 13th century, the absurd choir was replaced by the current choir and the eastern part of the longhouse up to the unusually distinct joint on the longhouse walls. The completion of the longhouse to the west may perhaps be linked to a recorded inauguration year 1280. The church has architecturally rich well-balanced portals; a romance in the tower, Gothic with triangular gable crowns in the south facade. The windows to the south and the three-window group to the east are original, as are the column-screened soundtracks of the tower. The church's interior exhibits a strict architecture, with carved stone in all arches and scopes. The whole church is arched. The six arches of the two-storey longhouse are carried by two columns. A wide triumphal arch opens to the light choir. The ring chamber opens to the longhouse with connected arches, supported by a narrow column net. In the southwestern corner of the ring chamber, an original spiral staircase in the wall starts up to the upper floor. In the northern wall of the choir is an older portal, probably from the oldest church, reused as a sacristy entrance. The western part of the longhouse is occupied by a statue from 1870, one of the few neo-Gothic statues preserved in Gotland. In the triumphal arch hangs a triumphal crucifix from the middle of the 13th century. The crucifix was over-painted in the 19th century. The baptismal font is carved in limestone around 1200. The font has images in high relief that were painted in juicy colors in 1707. The altar essay was painted by Johan Bartsch in 1654. The pulpit with sound roof was manufactured in 1751 by Johan Hernell. The bench interior is from the first part of the 18th century. Organ In 1873 Åkerman & Lund, Stockholm, built a mechanical organ.

En mysig och fin Gotlands kyrka. Med trevliga trä bänkar som man kan sitta på och ta det lite lugnt när man ser på alla målningar på vägen.
