Church in Barsebäck, Skane

[Deb Gosa]

I visited Barsebäck, Skane about 18 years ago.  This village is where my ggrandmother's family was from and where she was born in 1855.  We were running short of time, so we just stopped just inside the village limits.  I saw a white church and a church yard ahead of me, but I didn't have time to walk around the grounds - all I could do was imagine my ancestors being buried there.  I don't know what the name of the church is but could it have something to do with Mälmo?

Hi Deb,
 
if you visited Barsebäck I guess it was the church  
of Barsebäck, Malmöhus län you saw.
I come from a village not far from Barsebäck and I  
think the village is very beautyful.

Thank you Josephine for answering ...I feel as if you are the eyes for what I remembered back then.
 
What does Malmöhus län mean??  Does län mean country or land?
 
What kind of religion is (or was) practiced in the 1850's?  Is that the only church in that village???  Are there church (or parish) records that I could write for???
