The church stands somewhat apart from the village on a flat hilltop in the marsh meadows. In its basic structure, it resembles the Keitum church with its indented choir and semicircular apse. However, St. Martin's is considerably smaller and has no tower. Like the Keitum church, it was first mentioned in a document in 1240.
