Håslövs kyrka

About the church

Håslövs kyrka is a parish church in Håslöv. It belongs to Höllviken parish in the Diocese of Lund.

On 16 July 1882 the church, designed by the court architect Helgo Zettervall, was consecrated. The master builder was N. Thulin from Malmö. The construction of the church cost about 50,000 kronor. The consecration was performed by the rural dean Samuel Gustaf Cavallin of Vellinge, assisted by the parish priests Andersson from Gylle, Grönwall from Tommarp, Meijer from Hammarlöv and the local pastor Hammar himself. The church is built in the Gothic style in yellow hand-moulded brick, from Skegrie brickworks, with red roofs and semicircular ends to the transept arms. The ground plan is a Latin cross, and the architect used a wide variety of materials: granite, fieldstone, Portland cement, coloured glass, hand-moulded brick, pine and more. The tower, about 44 metres high, is surrounded by four smaller towers. Around the nave of the church there are several smaller towers. The roof originally consisted of galvanised sheet iron and copper. The interior of the church has pointed-arch vaults in a simple style. The baptismal font was a gift from pastor Hammar. Two bronze chandeliers were purchased for 900 kronor.
