Arlövs kyrka, in the town of Arlöv near Malmö, was consecrated in 1900 to a design by architect Alfred Arwidius. Built to replace the old parish church of Burlöv, it remains the parish church of Burlöv congregation in the Diocese of Lund.



The church is a neo-Gothic cruciform building constructed from yellow machine-pressed brick, with a patterned slate roof and mouldings, portals and window surrounds carved from sandstone quarried at Övedskloster. It has a single nave, decorated vault arches, and a tower to the west with a three-sided chancel to the east.

The pulpit, fitted with a sounding board, stands on the Gospel side of the church. In the chancel, visitors can see stained glass windows dating from the 1960s, created by the Danish artist Mogens Jørgensen during a thorough restoration of that decade. The sandstone font dates back to the church's original consecration in 1900.

A major renovation took place in the late 1990s after damp and rot were discovered affecting the roof and outer walls; this work also restored the church's original interior colour scheme. The building was rededicated on Palm Sunday 2000, exactly a century after its first consecration.

The church's organ history is unusually eventful. An early instrument by Setterquist & Son was later replaced, and in 2005 a new organ was built in the north transept by Åkerman & Lund. An attempt to acquire a stored historic organ from Motala led to a protracted investigation after pipes were found to be missing; the matter eventually became the subject of a criminal prosecution concerning stolen organ pipes, resolved by the Court of Appeal in 2007. The parish ultimately built its current organ independently rather than pursue the disputed instrument.
