The church appears to have been preceded by an earlier church, possibly a
wooden church, and stones from an earlier building have been incorporated into the presently visible building. The current church was built at the end of the 15th century or around 1500 and has retained its original appearance largely unchanged. During the 18th century most of the windows were enlarged and the vaulting of the church repaired; at that time the frescos were also covered with
whitewash, only to be uncovered and restored during a renovation in 1909-10 under the guidance of architect
Sigurd Curman. A window was also made in the north wall of the church in 1870. The church is one of very few medieval churches in Sweden which has never been substantially rebuilt or altered. The church is constructed of
fieldstone with decorated
brick gables. It has a yellow exterior with details painted white and the steep
gable roof has a covering of
shingle. The church has a simple floor-plan consisting of a single
nave with two sections of star-shaped
vaults, followed by a
choir of equal width with a ceiling supported by a
rib vault. The design is typical for countryside churches in Uppland built during the
Middle Ages. ==References==
