Härlöv's church with its 1485 bell tower and 1700s interior

Located in Härlöv by, Härlöv’s church is a well-preserved example of a church with a unique bell tower and a high ceiling. Built in 1697 on the site of a previous wooden structure, the church is constructed of gray stone and consists of a rectangular nave with a half-round chancel. A sacristy was added to the north in 1702, while the original weapons house in the south was replaced by a new one in the west in 1886.

The interior is characterized by the richly colored altar piece, which frames a glass painting from 1925. Other furnishings are richly decorated, including a pulpit with a sound cover. The church's ceiling is a wooden vault with medallion paintings likely dating to 1705. The church also houses a Madonna sculpture from the 1200s, a medieval crucifix, and enclosed pews. A balcony features mirrors decorated with various musical instruments.

The church's bells are housed in a separate bell tower built in 1485. Its musical history includes a first organ with a baroque facade built in 1752 by lektor Jonas Hielm of Växjö, which had eight stops. This was replaced in 1892 by an organ built by Carl Elfström of Ljungby. The current mechanical organ was built in 1968 by Anders Perssons Orgelbyggeri behind the original 1700s facade.
