Enslövs kyrka

The first church on this site may have been a wooden building, likely replaced by a Romanesque stone church as early as the 1100s, with a rectangular nave, a narrower apsed chancel, a south porch and a west timber tower. Disaster struck on 22 July 1831, when a lightning strike caused a fire so severe that the old church had to be demolished. Fortunately, many valuable fittings were saved before the building was lost.

The present church was built in 1835 by builders from Sandhult parish, to designs by the architect Fred. M. Bäck, and was consecrated that October by Bishop Carl Fredrik af Wingård. It is a plain, restrained example of the classicism fashionable at the time, with whitewashed walls pierced by large round-arched windows, a rectangular nave with a hipped roof, and a square west tower topped by a dome and lantern. A sacristy was added to the east during a major restoration in 1954–55, which also uncovered the original colour scheme on the altarpiece and pulpit. The bold reddish-brown decorative colour scheme seen today dates only from 1999.

Among the rescued older furnishings is a remarkably plain granite font, cylindrical and just 45 cm tall, without ornament or a drainage hole. Its simplicity makes it hard to date precisely, but it is thought to belong to the 1100s or 1200s and is considered unique of its type. Also surviving from the old church are a Renaissance-style pulpit and altarpiece, both probably carved in oak in Lund around 1647, the pulpit decorated with figures of the four evangelists and the altarpiece, over three metres tall, centred on a painted Last Supper.

Other notable older items include a triumphal crucifix dated to the 1200s and a wooden chest from 1635. Three chandeliers also came from the earlier church, including one in the porch said to have been donated in 1702 by the parish's first Swedish-speaking priest. The church's bells were cast in the nineteenth century, the larger in Kristianstad in 1835 and the smaller in Stockholm in 1894.

The church has had a succession of organs. An early instrument installed in 1805–06 was destroyed in the 1831 fire; its replacement was enlarged and rebuilt several times during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the current mechanical organ, incorporating an older façade, was built in 1973. A short distance north of the church stands the former parsonage, built in 1865, and the surrounding countryside holds a number of Bronze Age burial mounds.
