Højelse Church stands elevated above the surrounding landscape, and with its beautiful yellow colour it is visible from far away.

The church is consecrated to St. Michael, as inscribed on the largest of the two church bells.

The two western bays of the nave are the oldest part of the church, dating back to the mid-12th century and built of large limestone ashlars.

The two bottom storeys of the tower were built c. 1350 in bands of limestone and medieval bricks, and at the same time the flat ceiling of the church was replaced by a vaulted ceiling.
