The sacristy from the 12th century is probably the oldest part and the entrance was probably from the east, on the east wall you can see clear marks after a gate. The first known document that speaks of Gullersta as a parish is a deed of purchase from 1325 on a piece of land where a witness signs up as John's church lord in Gullersta. So the longship was built, and the tower then had a pyramid-shaped hood. The current shape of the spire was added in 1697.

The Gullstein church is a long church from 1869, partly designed in the Stave church style. In contrast to the church in Årdal and the church in Haug, also designed by Chr. Christie, the Gullstein church does not have a raised central part.

The Gustav-Adolf-Stabkirche is a reproduction of the Borgund stave church built between 1907 and 1908. During a study trip to Norway, the architect Karl Mohrmann saw staves churches and, inspired by them, he decided to reproduce one in Germany, arguing that this type of church existed throughout the entire region of North Germany at the beginning of Christianization.

The church’s architecture displays numerous characteristics of the Romanesque basilicas in the Sibiu area: a compact central nave, Gothic ribbed cross vaults at the side aisles, arcades with round arches resting on square pillars and arched windows at the clerestory, all dating back to the 13th century, same as the apsidal of the southern side aisle. The chancel was modified during the 15th century, when the pointed windows, the rib vault and a defence level were added. The defence wall was built in the same time and still features a small chapel on the eastern side. The penetrated barrel vault on transverse arches in the central nave was built in the 18th century. The interior preserves the 18th/19th century pew and the paintings, which were restored in 1988.

The Güstrow Cathedral dates back to the beginning of the 13th century. Started in Romanesque and then completed in Gothic style, the cathedral was consecrated in 1335. In 1568 the cathedral became a Protestant court church and burial place for the Güstrower Princely House until 1695.
