Sædinge kirke er opført omkring år 1250. af røde munkesten med mange bomhuller. Kirken består af romansk kor og skib. Det vestvendte tårn er opført i gotisk stil. Den romanske sokkel er stærkt fornyet.
Kirken ligger i den nordøstlige del af den lille landsby, og er friholdt for bebyggelse mod nord og øst. Kirken ligger lidt tilbagetrukket fra bebyggelsen langs bygaden, og er placeret
lidt højere i terrænet end den øvrige landsby. De nærmeste huse har et ganske fint samspil med kirken, hvor kirken indtager en markant position.
Fra den vestlige del af landsbyen er kirken ikke særlig synlig, mens den fra bygaden lige syd for og mod øst er meget synlig. Fra selve kirkegården er der ikke markant visuel kontakt med landsbyen, mens der derimod er et ganske fint udsyn over det nordlige og østlige landskab.
Kirken blev tidligere kaldt 'kirken ved stranden', da fjorden gik helt op til kirken.
Der findes en del kalkmalerier i kirken fra 1300-1480.
Ved kirkens kor nærmere ved diget, har der været en kilde. På kirkegården har der indtil 1636 været holdt marked. Mange gravsteder har derfor jerngitter omkring gravene, for at holde dyrene væk.

Sædinge Chuch was build approximately the year 1250 of red large medieval bricks with a lot of Barholes . the chuch consists of a norman style choir and nave. The tower facing west is build in gothic style. The norman plinth is renowated.
The chuch is in the north eastern part of the small village, and is held free buildings towards the north and east. The chuch is withdrawn from the built up area along the main street. The church is placed slightly higher in the landscape than the surrounding village. The nearest house interact fine with the nearest houses and the chuch has a dominant position. From the western end of the village the chuch is hardly visible but from the south and east it is very visible. From the churchyard there is not a pronounced visual connection to the village but there is a quite good view of the eastern and northern countryside.
The church was formerly known as the church at the beach because the fjord used to go all the way up to the church. There are quite a lot of frescoes from the period 1300-1480.
At the church choir closer to the dike there used to be a spring. On the churchyard there used to be markets until the year 1636, therefore a lot of the graves have iron fences around them, to keep animals away.
