Gislöv Church, church building in Trelleborg Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden

Gislöv Church is a whitewashed brick church east of Trelleborg, probably built in the late 12th or early 13th century. It consists of a nave, choir and rounded apse, with a square tower on the left side topped by a black wooden lantern with arched openings and a thin cross. The tower was built in stages between 1760 and 1824, and the nave has a steep green metal roof and a decorative band of blind arches along the facade.

The building was likely constructed by a local nobleman and may have been influenced by Norwegian church styles of that time. In the early 1800s, stones from ancient burial mounds were repurposed to enlarge the tower.

The name Gislöv is a compound of a personal name and lev, Old Danish for a hereditary estate. The church served as the private estate church of a local magnate, and the surrounding cemetery still holds gravestones such as those of Jöns Persson and Anders Nilsson.

The church stands in Gislöv on the Söderslätt plain, east of Trelleborg. The surrounding cemetery holds dark stone gravestones, some with legible names and flowers laid beside them. The tower was built in stages between 1760 and 1824, so its lower and upper parts differ in masonry.

The tower was enlarged in 1824 using stones taken from ancient dolmens, possibly to erase traces of pagan practices still surviving in the area. The 15th-century vaults were repainted with biblical scenes in the 15th and 16th centuries, and these murals were conserved in 1936.
