The high-placed church in Veggerby has a Romanesque nave, choir and apse, built in granite ashlars. To the north are two original windows preserved, one in the choir and one in the nave. A window cover stone with runes is kept at Års Museum. Both doors of the nave are walled, but in the choir is a priest-door with a half-circular thympanum with a cross-relief. The western tower is from the Gothic period, the bottom in granite ashlars, the top in monk bricks. The vaulted tower room is now a porch with a southern entrance. The ashlar walls of the church are blank, the top of the tower is white-washed and the roofs tiled.
The Communion table is granite and chalk ashlars. A Triptychon altar piece is from ab. 1590 with a painting from 1765 (Hartvig Ahlefeldt). In the foot piece are the coat of arms of Otto Henrik Juel and Sophie Dorothea Bille, (restored 1936). A painting upon the wall by A. Lund from 1900 was once in the altarpiece. Romanesque granite font with three lion figures. Baptismal basin of Nürnberg-type from the end of the 1500s. New pews and a western gallery with an organ.
