The Church of Sira, also known as the Eresfjord Church, is an octagonal church dating from 1869 and built of wood. Until about 1709, a stave church probably stood here, but because of its very poor condition, it was replaced by a new wooden church in the shape of a cross. Throughout the 19th century, this church was too small and in need of repair. In 1868-1869 the octagonal church was erected in its place.

The church in Ervik is a small brick long church, built in 1970. The designs for the church were started by architect Arnstein Arneberg and continued by architect Olav Platou after Arneberg's death in 1961. The west tower has an onion-shaped dome. The church had the status of a chapel until Ervik became its own parish in 1997.
