The Sandnes Church is a long church with neo-gothic forms, built in 1882 from plastered bricks according to the plans of the architect H. S. Eckhoff. In 1949 the tower was raised and equipped with four small towers around the lower part of the tower cap. The main door with the frame was rebuilt in 1953, designed by the sculptor Ståle Kyllingstad, with ornaments and figures in terracotta.
Høyland Church is a large wooden church that was inaugurated in 1841. The church was designed by the engineer Arild Sibbern on the basis of Linstow's drawings.

The altarpiece from the 1600s has been rebuilt with classical details and a large cross flanked by curved volutes.
