History
Construction began in the late 13th century and is supposed to have been completed by the mid 14th century. Large parts of the church are built in the limestone. There are Romanesque styles in the oldest parts and therefore Gothic style in the newer. The oldest is the choir area from around 1275–1300.

The current look of the church dates from the great restoration in 1863–1900 when the church's Gothic style was emphasized. The restoration proposal had been made by Carl Georg Brunius (1793–1869) and was completed by Axel Herman Hägg (1835–1921) and associate professor Adolf Kjellström (1834–1932). Partial renovations took place in 1936 under the direction of architect Erik Fant (1889–1954) and in 1962–64 after drawings by architect Kurt von Schmalensee (1896–1972). The latest renovation took place in 1979–80.
