Haltdalen Stave Church is a church dating back to 1170, which is now part of Trøndelag Folkemuseum in Trondheim. The church served as a model for the Heimaey stave church built in Iceland in 2000 for the millennium of the first church built there.

Hamar Cathedral is a typical long plastered brick church with arched medieval forms and a tower to the west.

Only the masonry of the tower of the hall church in Hamba originates from the Romanesque construction time. Most probably it was repaired after the destruction of the church in 1493 and it was strengthened with a wooden parapet walk. The church itself was not rebuilt, but surrounded by a ring wall. A new construction erected in 1749 survived only until 1830, being replaced by the actual church. The small neo-classical church of harmonious proportions stands empty today, as its inventory comprising the balconies, the pulpit and the pews has been moved to another location.

The Church of Hammarland or St. Catherine of Alexandria is a medieval greystone built in the early 14th century. The vault may have been made a few decades after the walls were laid, which may have been due to a fire in the early 15th century. The cross vaults were decorated in the 1460s with limestone paintings with a vegetal theme. During a renovation in 1837, the medieval limestone paintings were covered. They were restored during repairs in 1913 and 1960.
