Hammarlöv kyrka - Hammaröv , Sweden - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Hammarslövs church.
Hammarlöv's church is one of four Scanian churches that have still preserved a round west tower. Another church with a round the west tower has been on Söderslätt, namely Önnarp's church. The other three preserved in Skåne are Bollerup Church, Hammarlunda Church, and Blentarp Church.

The church was built in Romanesque style in the middle of the 12th century by Mårten Stenmästare. The tower was probably built around 1200 and may, as has been shown during excavations in Hammarlunda church's round tower, have been built as a burial ground for a stormman. Painting remains of a knight with a weapon in his hand are still depicted on the south side of the triumphal arch. The painting can be dated to about 1200. In the apse vault there are also paintings from the 13th century. In the 15th century, the arches of the church's cows and nave were built. In the choir vault there are preserved 15th century paintings.

During the 19th century, the church was expanded twice, first with a cross arm in the north in 1800 and then with one in the south in 1862. On the old farmhouse in the south cross arm is the so-called "virtue paintings".
