Built of ashlar stone in the 12th century, it is first mentioned in 1239, when it received an indulgence from Pope Gregory IX. In the High Middle Ages it was enlarged into a large, richly furnished village church with side altars in chapels and a high altar in the choir. It was originally dedicated to St Laurentius. Bishop Thomas Kingo became its owner through marriage in 1694, and his coffin lies beneath the epitaph he commissioned. Romanesque murals in fresco technique decorate the chancel arch and wall.
It belongs to Fraugde-Allerup-Davinde parish together with Allerup and Davinde. You can walk through the churchyard to see the building from every side. The entrance and parking are wheelchair accessible, and there is a toilet.
