When the new Färingtofta kyrka was reconsecrated in 1828, it was named Josephinas kyrka. The church tower was raised by one storey in 1796. The distinctive grey-stone tower retains an older character. This gives us different points of reference for the building’s history: 1796 marks a specific alteration, while 1828 marks the reconsecration and the naming. Visitors interested in churches can consider these aspects of the building and its name separately.

19th-century brick architecture

Färingtofta’s historic buildings include examples of brick architecture from the 1850s and 1860s, featuring blind brickwork and decorative brick bonds. These examples add a later 19th-century phase to the village’s architectural history. A brick bond is the arrangement in which bricks are laid to form a wall; in a decorative bond, the pattern itself becomes a design element. Blind brickwork is another detail of this construction style. Those interested in architecture can look beyond the dates to the design and execution of the brick walls.

A church village in a cultural landscape

Färingtofta lies in hilly woodland with pastureland and arable land. The church village is situated in hilly terrain north of the Rönne å river; its relatively high-lying surroundings are dominated by pastureland. These details distinguish the immediate surroundings of the church village from the wider landscape, which also includes woodland and arable land. Färingtofta developed along one of the old routes through the inland areas of Skåne. Its location places the church village in its topographical context, while its origins along the route add a historical dimension. The buildings, landscape and local history thus offer different perspectives on Färingtofta.

Klingstorpabäcken: natural surroundings outside the village

The Klingstorpabäcken Nature Reserve lies outside Färingtofta. There, the stream winds through woodland and open land in a hilly landscape. The water is home to trout and the now-rare freshwater pearl mussel. Several small gravel roads and paths run through the reserve; in places, the terrain by the stream is difficult to access. When planning your visit, it is worth distinguishing between the paths and the streamside: there are paths through the area, but the terrain by the stream is not always easy to access. Unlike the church village, which is dominated by pastureland, the stream area is characterised by woodland and open land.

Tornsborgs Tivoli and the event schedule

Another local point of interest is Tornsborgs Tivoli in Färingtofta. The venue has a large function hall that can accommodate up to 200 people. The 2026 programme includes a dance there every other Thursday from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm, organised by SPF Färingtofta. Check the specific dates before your trip if you would like to include this event in your plans. Unlike the architectural and landscape features, this part of your planning depends on finding a suitable event date.
