The church was designed by Professor Carl Georg Brunius of Lund and built between 1844 and 1849. Rather than the more common Latin cross plan, Brunius gave the building the form of a Greek cross, and its rough grey stone walls in a Romanesque style make it appear older than it actually is.
The altarpiece, showing Christ at its centre, was added in 1929, well after the church's completion. It is a copy of the Danish artist Carl Bloch's painting "Christus consolator", the original of which hangs in Sofia Albertina kyrka in Landskrona. The pulpit is older still, dating from around 1628, and was carried over from the church's predecessor on the site.
Below the pulpit stands an oak font from 1707, paired with a brass christening basin from the 1500s whose base bears a relief of the Annunciation. In 1956 the Count of Trolleholm funded the hanging of two 17th-century memorial tablets (epitaphs) to the Thott family.
The west gallery holds one of Sweden's more notable organs. Sources agree that an organ was moved here in 1849 from Mariakyrkan in Helsingborg, but its earlier history is described differently: one account credits the original building to Johan Lorentz the elder with a 1641 rebuilding by Johannes Buxtehude, while another local tradition links the instrument to the composer and organist Dieterich Buxtehude, who is said to have played it in Helsingborg between 1657 and 1660. When the organ was installed at Torrlösa its original rear-positive section was removed, and the instrument was substantially reworked by Sven Fogelberg. The organ seen today was rebuilt in 1962 by the Danish firm Th Frobenius & Co of Lyngby; its main case and some pipework survive from the 1849 instrument, though the facade's appearance has since been altered, and a new rear positive was added at that time.
