Revinge kyrka is a small parish church in the village of Revinge, in Skåne, southern Sweden. Dating back to around 1200, it belongs to Södra Sandby parish in the Diocese of Lund and offers a glimpse into centuries of rural church building and decoration.



The church began as a simple long nave and chancel, built around the year 1200. It was extended in the fifteenth century with the addition of a stepped-gable tower and a porch, and the building was also given vaulted ceilings at this time.

Fragments of medieval wall paintings survive within the church, hinting at the decorative schemes that would once have covered more of the interior. One source notes that a medieval limewash painting was uncovered in 1992, though the extent and location of this discovery is not detailed.

Among the church's furnishings, the pulpit is a notable feature, carved around 1600. It is said to bear curious, misspelled Latin inscriptions, a detail that gives it a distinctly local, handmade character. During the nineteenth century the pulpit was repainted brown, but this later covering was removed in the 1950s, restoring its earlier colour scheme.

The churchyard is enclosed by hedges and stone walling, giving the setting a quiet, traditional feel typical of rural Skåne churchyards.

The church's organ history reflects several changes over the twentieth century: an organ built in 1917 by A. Mårtenssons Orgelfabrik of Lund was later replaced, and a further instrument installed in 1954 was itself removed to another church in 1991, after which the current organ was installed.
