The Indre Herøy church is a long church dating from 1916. In 1922 the church was decorated by Johan Haddal. He made paintings of roses with Christian symbols. The church bell from 1890 and the organ from 1899 were moved from the old church. There was also a chandelier from 1690.
The church in Ulstein is an elongated octagonal church dating from 1849. The first plans for a new church in Ulstein were probably made by Christian H. Grosch in 1848. Grosch's designs used characteristic Stave church forms on an octagonal plan building. The octagonal plan form was part of a local tradition in the North West and in Sør-Trøndelag and Grosch incorporated this tradition from the proposals he received. Grosch's design was not used in the final construction. The church in Ulstein is recorded as the eighth most visited church in Norway.
Gursken church is a wooden church built in 1919. The architect of the church was probably Eduard Carlén.
