Ullstorps kyrka is a parish church in the village of Ullstorp, a few kilometres southeast of Tomelilla in Skåne, and belongs to Tomelillabygdens församling in the Diocese of Lund. Its long history stretches back to the medieval period, though its present appearance owes much to a thorough 19th-century remodelling.



The church was originally built in the 12th century in Romanesque style, consisting of a nave, a narrower and lower chancel, and a semi-circular apse. During the 15th century a tower was added and the church was given vaulted ceilings, reflecting the gradual architectural development typical of many Scanian village churches of the period.

The building was substantially rebuilt in the 1890s. Little of the medieval structure survived beyond the nave walls and parts of the tower; the new church gained transepts and a three-sided chancel. The work was directed by architect Theodor Wåhlin, who is recorded as later describing the project self-critically as an early professional misstep — a telling reminder that even significant restorations were sometimes viewed with mixed feelings by their own architects.

Among the church's furnishings, the pulpit and altarpiece date from the 17th century, offering a link back to an earlier phase of the church's decoration. A medieval censer is also preserved in the church, a modest but tangible survival from before the 19th-century rebuilding.

The church's organ history reflects its wider changes. An earlier harmonium was replaced in 1956 by a small pipe organ built by Bo Wedrup of Uppsala, which was later moved to Spjutstorps kyrka in 1968. The current mechanical organ was built the same year by the German firm Emil Hammer Orgelbau of Hannover, and remains in use today.
