The church was built of chalk-stone from the cliffs of Stevns Klint.

The apse wall, however, has got layers of flint built in, thus imitating the cliffs' geological structure.

The church was consecrated in 1913.

It appears as a traditional Romanesque village church with nave, choir, apse, porch and tower.

The altar is of chalk-stone, decorated with ornaments showing Christian symbols: in the middle an eye in a triangle, symbolising the trinity.

The altarpiece of wood has carving with a symbol of the resurrected Christ (lamb with standard of victory) and symbols of the four evangelists.

The large font is of chalk-stone. It is decorated with three angels relief.

The artist Johannes Malling has painted the frescoes of the church.

The pew gables tell the legend of the old church at the cliff edge, which every Christmas Eve moves a sosk stride further inland in order not to fall into the sea.
