Magleby Church is located in Magleby. It is the only national church in Magleby Parish. The church has a churchyard with a cemetery.
The original parts of the church originate from around 1250. These are the nave and choir. Several extensions have been made on the church throughout time, including the addition of a tower, chapel and church porch. The first extensions were made already around year 1300.
A building, known as Magleby Church Barn (Danish: Magleby Kirkelade) is located next to the church. It was built in 1624 by the owner of Borreby, Klavs Daa. The barn was originally known as "the Hospital" (Danish: Hospitalet) and housed 15 poor people. Klavs Daa financially supported the house, so that the 15 inhabitants were taken care of. The building was renovated in 1758 by the owner of Borreby, Villum Berregaard, after which it could house 12 people. The building housed poor people until first in the 1930s, after which it was used by Magleby Parish Municipality to store equipment for road workers. During the Second World War it was used to store fuel for the citizens of Magleby. Today the building is part of the church, and used for confirmation studies and meetings.[37]
The altarpiece is from around 1500. The chalice is from 1575 to 1600. The baptismal font is from the 1200s. The two bells are from 1748 and 1838. The organ was donated by lieutenant general I.M.H. v. Castenskiold in 1797.[38]
Buried in the cemetery is an Allied soldier from the Second World War. Locals found the soldier floating in the sea on September 11th, 1944. The police gathered the identification, but during the German disarmament of the Danish police the identification were lost. The only known part about the soldier was that he was Australian and part of the British Royal Air Force. The Germans allowed the people of Magleby to discreetly bury the soldier on Magleby Cemetery. During the remainder of the war the grave always had fresh flowers, as a silent act of resistance from the locals of Magleby. On July 1st, 1945 a gravestone was erected, paid for by the members of Magleby Parish.[39]
