The church of Flosta is a votive church for sailors in distress at sea. The church is mentioned in 1467. The present church building was built in the 17th century as a long wooden church. In 1747 the church was enlarged and rebuilt as a cruciform church. In 1864 the church was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style.

Stokken church is a wooden building completed in 1879 by builder Carl Svendsen. The church bell was delivered from Olsen Nauen Klokkestøperi in 1879. The organ has nine voices and was delivered from J.H. Jørgensen in 1928.
The Austre Moland church dates from 1673. It was originally built as a small "long church", but was transformed into a cruciform-shaped church in 1779. The two-part altarpiece, with a richly carved Rococo style wing, was made by Ole Nielsen Wejerholt in 1784.
The church of Holt was a long stone church in the Middle Ages. In 1753, the transverse arms and choirs were built of wood, so that today only the long walls of the nave and the west wall remain of the original stone church. This modification was carried out by the builder Lars Albretsen Øvrenes. The interior of the church, which like many other churches was repainted in the 19th century, was restored in 1952-53 by Finn Krafft.
