About the Church Building
The main part of the church, called the nave, was built in the 10th century. You can still see four of the original windows from that time. They are located above the nave.
The church was made bigger several times over the years. Important additions were made between the 12th and 13th centuries. More changes happened again in the 16th century. In 1916, the building was improved even more. These improvements were made so the church could also be used as a school.
