Runestones tell of a church building from the late Viking Age. A typical Öland church with a nave, a chancel, and a semicircular apse was built in the 12th century. A tower was added to the west in 1209.
In 1811, everything except the tower was demolished. A new church was built and consecrated in 1812. The current space was created in the 1930s by converting the sacristy behind the altar into a new chancel.
