Huaröds kyrka is a parish church in the village of Huaröd, part of Degeberga-Everöds församling in Skåne, southeast of Kristianstad. Its origins date back to the early medieval period, and the building has been altered substantially over the centuries.



The church was originally built around 1200 in Romanesque style, but very little of that early structure survives above ground: only the chancel remains from the medieval building. The nave was remodelled in the late eighteenth century, when transepts were added, giving the church its current cross-shaped layout. The west tower is a later addition still, erected in 1883, so the exterior visitors see today is largely the result of these successive rebuildings rather than a single medieval design.

Among the older furnishings, the sandstone font dates from the early thirteenth century and is the most direct link to the church's original construction. The pulpit is later, installed in 1687, and would have replaced an earlier fitting.

A notable twentieth-century addition is the fresco in the chancel, painted in 1953 by Pär Siegård, depicting the miracle of the Resurrection. It offers a striking contrast to the church's older stonework and gives the interior a distinctly mid-century devotional character.

The church has had at least two organs: an earlier harmonium was in use before the current pneumatic organ was built in 1952 by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund. The instrument uses slider chests and includes a fixed combination setting, details of interest chiefly to organ enthusiasts rather than general visitors.
