Barbu Church

The Barbu church is a neo-gothic style church dating from 1879-80. Initially, the brick wall was only plastered on the inside, but after some time it was found that the brick material was not of the necessary quality, so that the outside also had to be plastered. All the interior wood was stained, imitating oak.

Trinity Church

Trinity Church, opened in 1888, replaced the only 52-year-old Grosch church on the site. The church bears many similarities to the Church of St. Gertrude by German architect Johannes Otzen in Hamburg. Like the exterior, the interior is in neo-gothic style and is very detailed. The galleries in the transverse vessels are supported by pillars with masonry arches and are slightly extended to create a balcony effect.

Tromøy Church

Tromøy Church is a long church dating from 1150. In 1748 the church was completely rebuilt. The long church from the Middle Ages was divided in two and used as a transept in a cruciform church where the nave and choir were made of wood. The church was used as a landmark when sailing on the Skagerrak and was an easily recognisable feature in the tone of land that sailors saw from the sea. It is marked on all nautical charts, and until 1940 the state lighthouse and the marker were responsible for painting the walls of the church to the south.
