Äsphults kyrka is a parish church in Äsphult, part of Tollarps församling in the Diocese of Lund, Skåne. Dating back some eight centuries, it retains a fine Romanesque core along with later medieval and post-Reformation additions.



The church was built around the year 1200 in the Romanesque style, a period reflected in the surviving stonework of its walls and font. During the 15th century, vaulted ceilings were added to the nave, replacing an earlier flat roof and giving the interior its present character. The tower is believed to date from the early 17th century, added some four centuries after the original building.

In 1880 the church underwent restoration based on proposals by the architect Helgo Zettervall, a prolific figure in Swedish church restoration of the period. As part of this work, new vaults were constructed in the nave and the tower was rebuilt.

Among the church's furnishings, the Baroque altarpiece is a notable survival, made in the first half of the 18th century by Matthias Stenberg. It depicts the Last Supper, flanked by columns bearing images of the four Evangelists, Luke and Matthew to the left, Mark and John to the right. The pulpit, made of oak and pine, is something of a patchwork through time, incorporating elements from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.

The font is contemporary with the church itself and, like the building's base, is carved from sandstone. Set into it is a brass christening bowl bearing an inscription, said to have been donated in 1661 by a woman from nearby Vä.

The organ dates from 1928, built by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund as a pneumatic instrument with a shared swell mechanism across its divisions.
