The Timrå Church was inaugurated on 16 October 1796.

St. Petri's Church or Old Church of Tingelstad is a medieval stone church probably dating from the first half of the 13th century. The church was probably built as a private church and is dedicated to St. Peter. The 17th-century furnishings are largely unchanged since 1699 and in good condition.

The Tingelstad church was built of unpainted red bricks according to the drawings of Schirmer and von Hanno. The church is characterised by neo-gothic forms and is relatively large and richly designed. In 1925, the slate at the top of the tower was replaced by copper. In 1958, the church was extended with a baptismal waiting room on the first floor and a chapel in the basement.

The church in Tingnes is a wooden church built in 1972 according to the designs of the architect Karl Stenersen. The church is a triangular building with a distinctive, centrally located tower structure.

During the 12th century, a wooden church was built on the site where the current building stands. The building was replaced by a Romanesque church. Only the portals of that church have been preserved. During the 13th and 14th century, the church was reconstructed into a Gothic style building. Since then, only a few alterations have been made. In the Middle Ages, the church was one of the three asylum churches in Gotland. These buildings were places where suspected criminals could find refuge while they awaited their trial.

Tingvoll Church is a stone church in Romanesque and Gothic style that was built around 1200.

A small chapel dedicated to the unusual St Hulanus or Ulette, which was probably built before the medieval castle. It was constructed on top of the ruins of the Dark Age settlement.
