Södra Vram Church (Södra Vrams kyrka) is a historic parish church located in the Bjuv municipality of Scania. The origins of the church date back to the 12th century, making it a significant monument of Romanesque architecture in southern Sweden. Like many medieval churches in the region, it underwent several expansions and renovations over the centuries, most notably in the 15th century when the nave was vaulted and adorned with late Gothic wall paintings. These frescoes, depicting biblical scenes and the lives of saints, are among the church's most valuable artistic treasures. A prominent feature of the exterior is the robust bell tower with its stepped gables, a hallmark of Danish-Scanian brick architecture. The interior also houses a medieval baptismal font and an intricately carved pulpit from the Renaissance era. Today, the church is a protected historic site, continuing to serve its community while preserving centuries of regional ecclesiastical history.
