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 church in Vestfossen dates from 2010. On 1 January 1997, Vestfossen became a separate parish. This parish did not have a church, only the Vestfossen Chapel, which served as a parish church. This was built as a house of prayer in 1863 and consecrated as a chapel in 1902. The municipality of Øvre Eiker decided in the same year that a new church should be built.
