Description
Torskinge Parish Church is a well-preserved Romanesque stone church with apse sanctuaries and a free-standing bell tower. The church was built in granite between the 1180s and 1220s. The building consists of a nave, sanctuary and apse. The church is built from natural stone that is plastered white. To the south there is a porch and on the north is the vestry. To the east, the sanctuary is stepped down from the nave and ends with an apse. The nave and sanctuary have a gabled brick roof. The porch, apse and vestry all have shingle cladding. In the 18th and 20th centuries, the church was remodelled and whitewashed. Inside the church there is a triumphal crucifix from the 14th century.
Next to the church is a wooden bell tower from 1678. The bell tower is wooden, painted red and has a cross-shaped gable roof with a spire. The roofs are shingled and coloured black.
