Bonderup Church (Swedish: Bonderups kyrka) is a medieval Lutheran church in the province of Scania, Sweden. It belongs to the Diocese of Lund.

History and architecture

The church was probably built during the 12th or 13th century. The interior vaults were added during the 15th century. In the 19th century, a tower was added to the church but destroyed by lightning in 1916. The presently visible tower was thus built during the 20th century. The oldest of the church fittings is the larger of the two church bells, made in 1536. The pulpit is from 1763, and some of the church silver from 1749.[1]
