Fuglie kyrka is a parish church in Fuglie, Skåne, built in 1904 to a neo-Gothic design. Visitors can see an octagonal oak font, and two runestones stand nearby, giving the site a layered history stretching back centuries before the current building was raised.



The present church replaced an earlier grey-stone church built in Romanesque style during the 1100s, which was extended eastwards in the 1300s with cross-vaulting added over the nave and chancel. In 1851 that medieval building was remodelled to designs by Professor Carl Georg Brunius, gaining north and south extensions that turned it into a cross-shaped church. Despite these substantial works, the older church was demolished in 1902 to make way for an entirely new building.

The replacement, designed by A.W. Lundberg and consecrated in 1904 by Bishop Gottfrid Billing, was built of machine-struck brick in neo-Gothic style. The nave leads to a three-sided chancel in the east, while the tower features gallery-inspired sound openings, stepped gables and a tall spire. A sandstone portal from the demolished medieval church was retained and incorporated into the new building, offering a tangible link to the site's earlier history.

Two runestones stand close to the church: one to the north and another within the churchyard, both associated with the Fuglie site and pointing to activity here well before the medieval church was built.

Inside, the altarpiece dates from 1595 and is arranged in four fields over two tiers depicting biblical scenes, surmounted by a canopy. The octagonal font, carved from oak, dates from the 1600s. A pulpit decorated with terracotta reliefs is contemporary with the current church, while gallery paintings from 1626 depict the apostles.

The church has had a succession of organs: an eight-stop instrument built in 1843 by Pehr Lund of Lund originally stood in the old church, followed by a twelve-stop organ built in 1904 by Eskil Lundén of Gothenburg. The current mechanical organ was built in 1960 by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund.
