Already in the 7th century, a church was founded on the site of St. Quintinus Cathedral, which was replaced in the 11th century by the ancestor of the cathedral, initially built in the Romanesque style. In the 15th century, the choir was rebuilt and included an ambulatory and four chapels. The bell tower of the present church dates from 1725 and was restored in the 19th century. The church did not become a cathedral until the foundation of the diocese of Hasselt in 1967.

Hasseltplein, where time seems to have stood still, is one of the best-preserved spots in Tilburg. The Hasselt Chapel (Hasseltse Kapel) is located in that oasis of peace and stillness. A striking and modest centerpiece at the same time. The chapel is the oldest monument in the city and the only (late) medieval building in Tilburg. It was probably founded around the year 1500.

Hasselvika church is a wooden church built in 1951. The architect of the church is Claus Hjelte.

The church in Hässleholm was built of handmade red bricks from the brickworks in Yddinge and stands on a granite base. It was consecrated in 1914, the same year that Hässleholm became a town. The plans were made by Fredrik Sundbärg. In 1957 the roof tiles were removed and copper tiles were put on. During the renovation in the 1980s, the crumbling bricks on the facades were replaced and repointed with lime mortar.

Hasvik Church is an octagonal church built in 1955. It replaced the old church from 1861, which was burnt down in 1944 during the Second World War. The 1861 church was a long wooden church and replaced a church that was moved from Hasvåg in 1712.

Háteigskirkja was built between 1957 and 1965 by the architect Halldór H. Jónsson. Inside there are mosaic paintings by Benedikt Gunnarsson.

The Hatlestrand Church is a wooden church built in 1885 by the architect von der Lippe. The pulpit, the baptismal font and the bells are original. The organ was added in 1915.

The Hattfjelldal church is a long church from 1868, designed by architects Jakob Nilsen Hagen, J.E. Tverdahl and Nils Toft. The church probably has the first steel bell tower made in Norway (1869).

The Haug church was built in the Middle Ages, but the remains of the medieval church are rare. The original nave and choir were demolished and a new choir and a longer brick nave were built in 1861-62, according to the drawings of the architect Wilhelm Hanstein. Most of the interior of the Haug church was lost in a fire in 1818, except for the altarpiece and some furniture.

The Haug church is a medieval stone church, originally built with a rectangular nave and a narrower choir. In 1712, the choir was demolished and the nave was extended to the east to its full width so that the nave and choir now fit together. In 1878, the church was rebuilt again according to the designs of the architect N.S.D. Eckhoff. Large parts of the western part of the building were demolished. New walls were erected on the remains of the old ones, and the nave was extended to the west.
