Borre Church

The church in Borre is a stone church dating from the first half of the 12th century. The church is dedicated to St. Olav and St. Nikolaus. When the county of Jarlsberg was created in 1683, the church in Borre became the property of the count. It was not until 1900 that the church was purchased and given to the congregation. The church in Borre is a long church with a rectangular nave and a slightly narrower choir. The naves and choirs have gable roofs, and on the roof of the nave there is a turret. At the western end of the nave is a porch, at the eastern end of the chancel a sacristy. In the course of its long history, the church has undergone significant changes. In 1926-28, the church underwent extensive restoration work which still characterises the interior.

Slagen Church

The Slagen church dates from 1901 and was built on the site of the old Slagen church, a simple medieval stone church dedicated to St. Bottolph, which burned down in 1898. The new church building was designed by Halfdan Berle (1861-1929). The interior frescoes, painted by Kåre Øijord, date from the restoration of the church in 1955-1958.

Undrumsdal Church

The Undrumsdal church, completed in 1882, replaces a small octagonal church built in 1730. The new church was restored in 1981 and, on this occasion, received two tapestries by Else Marie Jakobsen (1927-2012).
