According to a dendrochronological survey, the oldest parts of the wooden church date from around 1344. The church rests on a grouted gray stone pedestal and consists of a timbered longhouse. On the eastern short side is a chancel side erected in 1705. To the north of the chancel is a sacristy of stone, erected at the end of the Middle Ages. On the west short side is the church tower, erected in 1705. A cross arm, added in 1755, is on the northern side of the longhouse. At the south side of the tower is the main entrance to the porch, which is housed in the ground floor of the tower. Additional entrances can be found at the southern long side and at the northern end of the cross arm. The long house’s steep saddle roof, sacristy roof and tower roof are covered with tarred shavings. The sacristy and the chancel side of stone are whitewashed. The church’s timbered sections have exterior walls clad in red-colored shavings.
