The Oppheim church was built of wood in 1871. The architect of the building was the builder Ole Vangberg, who was also responsible for the neighbouring church in Vinje, built in the same year. Before these two churches stood a 17th-century church, itself replacing a 14th-century stave church.

Oppstad Church is a typical 18th century church in the shape of an eastern cross with a tower to the west. The tower probably comes from an old church built in 1634. The church was given a new sacristy in the 1950s, and copper cladding on a tower helmet and new windows in the 1960s.

Oppstryn Church, which was opened in 1863, is a long, relatively simple church built according to the drawings of J. W. Nordan. The church has rectangular windows and some neo-gothic details, and the tower to the west has a gable roof with an eaves over it. In the Middle Ages the church stood on Nesje, but when an avalanche threatened its position in the early 1660s, the church was moved and a new church was built on Fosnes, the same town where the modern church of Oppstryn stands.

his 17th century Bohemian cemetery has seen its original masonry wall largely destroyed, leaving the site open to the elements. Dozens of gravestones remain at the site.

The ring wall of the fortified church in Orăştie has an almost rectangular shape and was strengthened to the corners and at center of all lines with several towers, some of which have been preserved to this day. In the precincts two protestant churches stand side by side: the southern one, used nowadays by the Hungarian reformed congregation was built in the 14th century as a Romanesque basilica, later transformed into a Gothic basilica. A tower was built in 1400, about the same time as the chancel. Between 1820-1823 the Evangelic congregation of Orăştie built a new church for their community. After 1839, when the common bell tower collapsed, each community built from the ruins one of their own.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to IAJGS the last known Jewish burial dates to 1917. The cemetery could not be found marked on old maps of the region. Supposedly, it was founded no later than in the early 20th century. There are no gravestones remaining. The cemetery is abandoned and overgrown.

Sant'Andrea a Ponte Milvio is an oratory built in the 15th century next to an aedicula with a statue of St. Andrew, erected by Pius II (1458-1464) in memory of the ceremony that took place here on 11 April 1462, when the Pope went to meet Cardinal Bessarione carrying the head of the apostle Andrew. The relic had been saved by Tommaso Paleologo, despot of Patras, who had fled to avoid the Turks. Today the church is a subsidiary place of worship of the parish of Santa Croce in Via Flaminia.
