Birkeland church is a long church completed in 1878 by architect Giovanni Jacob Harbitz Müller. In the Middle Ages, there was a stave church on the same site, first mentioned in written sources in 1329. The medieval church was demolished, and a new timber church was built sometime before 1642. In 1839 the parish took over the church. The timber church was demolished before the new stone church was built and finally consecrated on November 21, 1878.
