The Geiranger church was completed in 1842, one year after the old church burned down. The church was built of slatted wood by Hans Klipe in a form that was common for church buildings in Sunnmøre towards the end of the 18th century. Whereas normally the bell tower of the old octagonal churches rested on four pillars that descended through the church hall, the roof of the Geiranger church is so solid that the tower is placed on top of it.

Geneva Cathedral, or Saint-Pierre Cathedral, was founded in 1160 in the Romanesque style, on a former 4th-century cathedral. In 1535, with the Reformation, the statues and furniture of the cathedral were destroyed. The cathedral then became Protestant. Subsequently, John Calvin (1509-1564) worked for 23 years as a preacher in the reformed cathedral. The cathedral was built in the Gothic style at the end of the 17th century and was enlarged in the 18th century with a columned portico in the classical style in front of the main façade.
