Ramsåsa Church, Medieval church in Ramsåsa, Sweden.

Ramsåsa Church is a white-walled medieval church built around 1200, with a nave, chancel and rounded apse, and a stepped-gable west tower added in the 15th century. The tower is nearly as long as the nave and carries a tall roof of orange-red tiles with small arched openings near the top. The nave's broad tiled roof ends at the rounded apse, and a low white wall with dark stone markers stands in front.

The church was built around 1200 and underwent major renovation between 1852 and 1853 under architect Carl Georg Brunius. Additional restoration work took place from 1958 to 1961.

The north wall of the nave carries 14th-century murals of Saint Christopher and the Wheel of Fortune, the latter a rare subject in Nordic medieval painting. The chancel vault ribs are painted with purely decorative late-medieval motifs. The murals were uncovered in 1954, and work in 1986 protected those in the apse.

The church is accessible to visitors and situated in a rural area reached on foot or by car. Regular services are held, so checking opening times beforehand helps plan a visit.

The rood cross, carved in the 13th century, shows Christ triumphant with open eyes and head upright, not suffering. Its original crown was replaced by the crown of thorns in the 15th century, and the top of the cross was sawn off before 1907. It was found in the church attic and kept at Lund University's Historical Museum until 1954.
