Believed to have been built in 1158 and was enlarged in 1634, with two naves added in 1667. Some runic inscriptions are still visible in the church. The church also has numerous 17th- and 18th-century paintings with religious motifs. Many of the paintings were done by local artist Eggert Munch, a distant relative of the famous Edvard Munch. The church also contains numerous examples of local wood carving, as seen in the elaborate acanthus scrolls that adorn the pulpit. The dragon figures carved into the roof are ancient symbols of protection against evil. It is still in use as the local church.
