Høre church is a wooden church, first built in 1179. In the 19th century, the church was considerably rebuilt and given a new choir and an enlarged nave. The original construction of the nave, dating from the 12th century, has been preserved as a skeleton within the cladding. The moat structures of the nave show the original size of the church hall.
