Scene Description: Source caption: "Kyrkan anses ha anor från 1300-talet. Åren 1707–1708 förlängdes kyrkans långhus åt öster då också ett nytt rakslutande korparti byggdes. En ny sakristia byggdes till 1710 vid långhusets norra vägg med anslutning till koret. Åren 1832–1834 uppfördes tornbyggnaden i väster efter ritningar av Axel Almfelt."
