The Sæbø church is a long church from 1884. The first church in Sæbø was probably built around 1300, which makes Sæbø one of the first parishes in Nordhordland to have its own church. In the 1860s it became clear that a new church was needed in Sæbø, as the old one did not meet the requirements laid down by law. The work was carried out by the builder Karl Askeland, who had also designed the church.

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.

The Sælen church is one of the three churches in Fyllingsdalen. It was built in 2001, after an architectural competition in 1998. On the altar wall there is an artwork by Søren Ubisch. The building was awarded one of the four Bergen Masonry Prizes in 2003.

The church in Sødorp is a cruciform church built of wood with a tower in the middle of the cross plan. The monogram of King Fredrik V is above the side entrance to the north. In 1908-10 the church was dismantled and moved to the presbytery west of Gudbrandsdalslågen, where it still stands (rededicated on 19 October 1910). In 1960-61 the church was restored.

Søgne Church, built around 1640, is a long church with a rectangular nave and a lower, narrower chancel to the east. The tower to the west is a later extension, probably dating from about 1760. The sacristy dates from 1743. The nave is built of half-timbering, while the chancel is of timber-framed construction.

Søgne main church is a cross church in wood from 1861. It was designed by Christian H. Grosch. The church owns, among other things, an altarpiece it received as a gift from Anne Marie and Steven Rockefeller (great-grandson of John D. Rockefeller) in 1959. The couple married in the church the same year.
