History
The white, stone church was built during the middle to late 13th century. The church was first named in historical records in 1306, but it was not new at that time. For about 300 years, the church was owned by the nearby Barony Rosendal, where many of the Rosenkrantz family are buried. The building has been renovated and refurbished many times over the centuries, the most recent times were in 1913-1914 and in 1955. The church seats about 400 people.
