Stunning church both inside and out, drapped in history. Free entry and a must to go visit and wander around. Situated close to lilla torg and a more authentic experience. Check it out for sure.

A beautiful 700 year old church. Free admission and generous open hours (10 am-? daily, I was there in the morning) The inside was pretty but fairly typical-- other than one chapel that still had old painting on the the ceiling which was really nice. My favorite part was all the buttresses on the exterior .

This extremely old church is filled with history that anybody can appreciate. Although most of the church was whitewashed, there is still a room with original frescoes. These are gorgeous. The pipe organ and pulpit are fantastic works of art as well. Admission is free, which is how a church should be. I will always donate money to a sight... More

The church was built in 1319, so obviously it has been renovated many times. However, once we enter, the old charm is still captivating. It is best to walk from the city centre.

I have three children who are all baptised in this church. This church are very old and have a fascinated story to tell. If you are in Malmö in the summer there are a tour which tells about historical houses in Malmö and there are a lot to tell about this church.

This small church has been renovated after the Reformation and so most of the beutiful wall and ceiling paintings are gone except for the small alcove where the Christening font is. Worth a visit.

Open for tours. The church was renovated in 2010/2011 and is surprisingly beautiful - not unlike cathedrals seen in central Europe. White walls and buttresses set off beautiful gothic statues and carvings. During renovation, art from the 14th century (if I remember correctly) was revealed. Quite intriguing! I've gone to the service there as well - lovely music including an... More

It's really a nice church, well kept. It's close to the central station. It's open every day from 10 to 18 H. It's really a must-see when you are in Malmo.
