The Romanesque pier basilica built around 1260 was changed to a hall church starting in 1496 when the side aisles were heightened. From the initial building only the walls and the tower remained, which has been integrated into the roof. In the attic of the side aisles the round Romanesque clerestory windows are still preserved, after being covered in 1783 by the construction of the nave’s vault. During this period the chancel was enlarged and the interior decorated with Tuscan columns on the triumphal arch and next to the walls. The interior furnishing date back to the 18th century. The defence wall with gate tower was built between the 13th and the 15th century. Almost its whole interior side is built with massive two-level rooms and granaries, and behind them the battlement walk. The cells were provided with a protruded pitched roof, for the protection of the villager’s grain chests, which are still exhibited today.

The oldest parts of St Michael's Church date from the mid 17th century, although the church was preceded by a medieval wooden church dedicated to St Michael. The present church was begun in 1647 but was not yet fully completed in the 1680s. Its present form is the result of radical reconstruction in the 1780s, partly according to plans by C. F. Adelcrantz, when the chancel was given a three-sided end and the west tower and sacristy were added.
