The church of Feios was built in 1866 and replaced a moat church on the site. The church is built according to the plans of the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan and the builder Johannes Arnesen Øvsthus. The interior is characterised by the Swiss and neo-Gothic style and has remained almost unchanged since the time of construction.

The Leikanger church is a stone church dating from around 1250. Around 1872, a lower and narrower choir was built, with a sacristy to the north-east. At the same time, the 17th-century tower was replaced by a new tower in neo-gothic style. When the church was restored in the years 1930-50 under the direction of architect Johan Lindstrøm, the 19th-century tower was demolished and replaced by a modern tower.
The church of Vangsnes is a long church dating from 1861. It replaced a stave church, too small and in poor condition, which was demolished before the present church was installed in the same town.
Vik Church is a long wooden church built in 1877, designed by the architect Haakon Thorsen. It replaced the Hove church and the Hopperstad Stave church as a parish church.
