At the instigation of Archbishop John McHale, Archbishop of Tuam, a new church was started in 1876, to a design by J.J. O???Callaghan. Much of the funding for the project came from the diaspora in the USA. This church was on a higher site opposite the original church. Progress slowed when the parish priest Canon James Magee died in 1885. His successor, Canon Patrick Lyons, demolished the half-completed church in 1891, much to the consternation of parishioners and donors, and built the present church alongside the old St Mary???s church. The present church, designed by Dublin architect, Walter G. Doolin , was started in 1897 and opened in 1901, dedicated to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. James Pearse, the English father of Padraig Pearse, made the marble altar, and the stained glass was by Meyer of Munich, Germany. The large, five-lancet window over the altar, features images depicting scenes from the fifteen mysteries of the rosary, and was presented by the Archbishop of Tuam, Dr. John McEvilly.

The present Romedal church dates from 1887 and is a neo-gothic building by the architect Günther Schüssler. The church was erected after the demolition of the medieval church in 1886. The tower has an unusually high bell roof and a high peak. The foot of the tower must have been built of stone from the western wall of the cemetery. The interior is characterized by restorations in 1963-65 under the direction of architect Finn Bryn.

The Romfo church is an octagonal church dating from 1821. It was designed by architect Ole Pedersen Tøfte. The church contains older objects, among others an altarpiece from 1713.

The church of Romnes, which was built between 1150 and 1250, is a Romanesque stone church with a square nave and a smaller, lower square chancel with a semicircular end, the apse.

The church was the private property of the Aall family until 1986.

Romsås Church was built in 1995 on an old church that burned down in 1986. The new church was partially erected on the old foundation wall.

The church of Rõngu was probably built at the end of the 14th century, the church being mentioned for the first time in written sources in 1413. The church suffered several times during several wars (Northern War, Livonia War) and lost its original architectural appearance during the restorations. In 1702, the Cossacks burnt down the church and only the walls of the church remained. The church obtained its current neo-gothic style during the reconstructions designed by Rudolf von Engelhardt in 1900-1901.
