In 1020 the construction of a stave church began. However, the Romanesque church as seen today dates from the 12th century and replaced the wooden church. This makes the sacred building in Husaby one of the oldest stone churches in Sweden.

In the 14th century the building was decorated with Gothic pointed arches and a century later it received new frescoes. Some of the inventory, such as the pulpit and the altar, have been dated to the 17th century. However, important inventory of the church has been preserved from the Middle Ages: for example, an inscription on the baptismal font from the 13th century, the bishop's throne and some sculptures also come from this era.
