Röddinge kyrka

The oldest parts of the church, including the nave, were built around 1200 in Romanesque style, likely with a chancel and rounded apse. A west tower and porch were added in the fifteenth century, when the nave was also given cross vaults. In the late nineteenth century (sources give 1877 or 'late 1800s') transepts were added and the church extended eastward, involving the demolition of the old apse, chancel and porch.

On the third day of Christmas in 1928, a serious fire severely damaged the church. The pews and pulpit were destroyed, and the font badly damaged, though the tower survived. The fire had one unexpected benefit: it exposed medieval limewash paintings that had been whitewashed over since the Reformation. These had briefly been rediscovered and documented in 1885 by George J:son Karlin, first director of the Kulturen museum in Lund, but had then been covered again due to their poor condition. Rebuilding after the fire, to a design by architect Nils A. Blank, deliberately emphasised the church's ancient character, reducing the size of the transepts. Today only the nave walls, tower and bell survive from the medieval building.

The best-preserved wall paintings, found in the vaults, are attributed to an anonymous painter known as the Everlöv Master (Everlöfsmästaren/Everlövsmästaren), working around the late fifteenth century. Their subjects are drawn from the Creation and the Fall, including God forming sea creatures such as crabs and lobsters, and Adam and Eve tempted by the serpent, alongside a depiction of Christ as judge flanked by Mary and John.

The painter Axel Kulle, born in Småland, uncovered and restored these medieval paintings after the fire and in 1944 added a triptych of his own. In the mid-1950s he returned to clean the wall paintings again and painted the flat chancel ceiling with biblical scenes.

Among the church's furnishings is a bronze bell dating from the fifteenth century, one of the oldest in Skåne, bearing a Latin inscription and decoration including a seal with a scale, sun and moon, and a Madonna in a mandorla. A seventeenth-century alms box is also recorded. A wall memorial near the organ commemorates a young woman who died in her twenties in the eighteenth century. The current organ was built in the 1950s or 1960s by the Mårtensson workshop in Lund; an earlier organ by the same firm had been installed in 1937.
