Torrlösa kyrka is a parish church in the village of Torrlösa in Skåne, part of Svalövsbygdens församling within the Diocese of Lund. Built in the mid-19th century, it stands out for its distinctive cross-shaped plan and its long-travelled organ.



The present church was designed by the Lund architect Carl Georg Brunius and built between 1844 and 1849, taking the form of a Greek cross. Brunius was a noted figure in 19th-century Swedish church architecture, and this design reflects his interest in symmetrical, centrally planned buildings.

Inside, the altarpiece dates from 1929 and is a copy of Carl Bloch's painting "Christus consolator", the original of which hangs in Sofia Albertina church in Landskrona. The pulpit is considerably older, made in 1628, while the oak font dates from 1707, paired with a brass christening dish believed to be from the 16th century — objects that predate the current building and were presumably brought from an earlier church on the site.

The organ has an unusually layered history. In 1849 an instrument was moved to Torrlösa from Mariakyrkan in Helsingborg, said to have originally been built by Johan Lorentz the Elder and rebuilt in 1641 by Johannes Buxtehude. When it was installed here it was altered by Sven Fogelberg, who removed its original rear positive. The organ visitors see today, on the west gallery, was rebuilt in 1962 by the Danish firm Th. Frobenius & Co., retaining the main façade and some pipework from the 1849 instrument, though the façade's appearance has been altered from its original form. The rear positive division was reinstated as part of the 1962 work.
