the oldest parts of balingsta church, the nave, choir and apse, date from the end of the 12th century. a few years later the tower was added to the church. the vestry was built in the 15th century, and during the same century the church ceiling was remade into a vaulted ceiling, decorated with frescos, of which only fragments remain. in the 16th century the church tower was heightened and a church porch added. the church was again rebuilt in the 18th century, when new and larger windows were inserted and the presently visible lantern was added to the tower. the church has remained more or less unchanged since.
