Reersø Church is a parish church on the eastern side of the Reersø peninsula on the Great Belt, with sweeping views of salt marshes and farmland to the east.

The church is centrally located within the original, almost square cemetery, which was significantly expanded to the north in 1940. The cemetery is enclosed by whitewashed brick walls. A mortuary chapel stands in the northeast corner of the old cemetery.

The church was built by the architect Søren Lemcke (1864-1955) based on drawings by Professor Valdemar Koch (1852-1902) and consecrated on July 10, 1904. The church consists of a single nave with an attached five-sided apse to the east

and a tower section built directly above the western end of the nave.

The whitewashed church is built of brick on a split-stone base and covered with a red tiled roof, but is otherwise characterized by its minimalist design, with the facades interrupted only by simple round-arched windows and simple saw-cut friezes.

The upper part of the tower is made of wood.

The interior of the church is dominated by the striking barrel vault of the nave

and the pentagonal apse vault. The whitewashed walls of the church are divided horizontally by a surrounding cornice frieze. Stained glass windows were installed in the choir windows.

Large parts of the furnishings date from the construction of the church. The altarpiece came to the church in 1981 and was made as a bronze relief by Erik Warming.
