Bjuv Church (Swedish: Bjuvs kyrka) is a medieval church in Bjuv in the province of Skåne, Sweden.
The church in Bjuv dates from the late 12th century and originally consisted of a nave, chancel and an apse. The church tower was added during the 13th century, but largely rebuilt during the 18th century. During the 15th century the original ceiling was replaced with the currently visible vaults. In 1800 a single transept was added, facing north, and in 1867 the apse was demolished and replaced by the current structure housing the vestry.[1][2]
