Arnafjord Church is a long wooden church from 1880, designed by architect Johannes Gjertsen. The present church replaces a church from 1645 which was too small and in poor condition. Some materials from the old church have been used in the new one.

The Sæle Church is a wooden church built in 1903. The church has a long plan and was designed by the architect Hans Jacob Sparre. Until the construction of the new church, the old stone church from around 1200 on Kvamsøy was the parish church. It was old, small and inaccessible, so many members of the parish worked on the construction of a new church, either on Sæle or on Lindane.
Hopperstad stavkirke was built around the year 1130, and it stands on its original site. The church is owned by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments which funded its restoration (1885-1891).
Hove Church is a Romanesque stone church that was probably built around the middle of the 12th century and was substantially restored by Peter A. Blix after he bought the church in 1880. In the 1880s, the half-timbered tower to the west was replaced by a square stone tower. The interior is characterised by Blix's restorations.
