The oldest part of the church - the nave - dates back to around year 1250 and is the only part of the original building, about year 1300 the 8 arches were build in and in 1350 the first frescoes were painted on the chancel arch at the choir, they portraits the four evangelists. Then 150 years later the church was white-washed and decorated by the much so mysterious Elmelundemestrer. In the beginning of the 16th century the old choir was replaced with the one present today and the tower was build.\nThe frescoes was covered for many years but then in 1932-34 they were brought back into the light. Due to the massive layer of dust the frescoes had been protected from the white-wash and in order to bring them forward the restorer only had to dry-out the church and knock/peel of the outer coat of white-wash.
