Törringe kyrka is a parish church in Törringe, around seven kilometres west of Svedala in Skåne, belonging to Svedala församling within the Diocese of Lund. Its stone walls date back to the Romanesque period, making it one of the older churches in the district.



The church's oldest sections were built in stone during the 1100s in the Romanesque style typical of the region. Vaulted ceilings, a porch and a tower were added in the 15th century, giving the building the broadly medieval outline still visible today. A medieval stone wall encircles the churchyard, a reminder of the site's long continuous use.

Among the church's furnishings is a medieval triumphal crucifix in late Gothic style, a striking survival from the pre-Reformation church. The pulpit dates from the late 16th century, while the altarpiece, created around 1750 by Johan Ullberg, reflects the more decorative tastes of the 18th century.

A notable and unusual feature is the communion silver, said to originate from the Mary Church (Mariakyrkan) in Tartu, in present-day Estonia, and to have been kept at Törringe since the early 1700s. The precise circumstances of how it came to the church are not detailed in the sources, but it links this small Skåne parish to the wider Baltic history of the period.

The current organ was built in 1882 by Salomon Molander & Co of Gothenburg and remains a mechanical instrument, a modest but characterful example of 19th-century Swedish organ building.
