Internally, the church is decorated with frescos dating from the 14th century. The frescos, which depict saints, the four evangelists and the devil, are located mainly in the choir. They were restored during the 1991 renovation. Among the furnishings, a decorated iron chandelier dates from the 14th century; it is one of only four chandelier of its kind in Sweden. The chandelier was exhibited at the International Exposition of 1867 in Paris as well as at the Baltic Exhibition of 1914 in Malmö. The crucifix of the church is a copy of the original (13th century) which is now in the Lund University Historical Museum in Lund.
In the church cemetery lies the grave of Lev Lvovich Tolstoy, the son of Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.
