Torhamns kyrka

The present church was built remarkably quickly, with construction beginning in March 1884 and the building substantially complete by that July, before being consecrated in August 1885. It replaced a medieval stone church dedicated to St Måns that had stood nearby since the 1200s but was judged too small and too dilapidated to repair. The new church, designed under the Office of the Superintendent of Buildings (with the architect sometimes named as Johan Fredrik Åbom, though sources note a possible error in the standard reference work Sveriges kyrkor), was built to a considerable height and doubled as a landmark visible far out at sea, useful to sailors along this exposed stretch of Baltic coast.

The building has a rectangular nave with a west tower and a narrower chancel to the east, constructed of granite and brick with whitewashed walls, exposed brick detailing under the eaves, and round-arched windows. A lantern topped by a spire crowns the tower, and the interior is covered by a wooden barrel vault. The builder, Carl Johnsson, was widely praised for his workmanship, and the exterior has remained essentially unchanged since the church opened.

The interior has been altered more substantially over the years. Between 1950 and 1951 the chancel was remodelled: the screen separating the sacristy from the nave was removed and replaced by Gunnar Torhamn's monumental mural, while large wood-burning stoves gave way to electric heating. Further changes in 1973–1974 partitioned off part of the nave to create a function room, cloakroom and other facilities, slightly shortening the worship space. A closure for repainting and renovation began in August 2005, drawing colours from the altar mural into the newly painted pews, doors and gallery, and the church was rededicated in May 2006.},

Among the older furnishings, a carved pulpit dates from around 1630 and survives from the earlier medieval church; its canopy bears the monogram of the Danish king Christian IV, a reminder that this part of Blekinge once lay under Danish rule. A votive ship model, representing a local wrecked boat, was given to the church in the late 1970s, continuing a long Nordic church tradition of maritime offerings. The church's organ has a complicated history: an 18th-century instrument by Pehr Schiörlin, originally from another Blekinge church, was later rebuilt more than once, and by the 2005–2006 renovation its mechanism had deteriorated enough to be replaced by a digital organ, though the historic Schiörlin case remains in place.
