Dating back to the 13th century, this Romanesque structure is one of the oldest brick churches in the region. The building reaches a height of 51 meters and is recognized as a Cultural Heritage Site.

A notable tradition is the tower watchman, a position that has guarded the city since 1748. The church also houses an impressive carillon consisting of 36 bells.

The building is open to the public and serves as a venue for musical performances and community gatherings. Through September 6, 2026, a summer exhibition of 'presenningsikoner' by Mats Hermansson is on display.
