Kyrkjebø church is a long church dating from 1869, designed by the architect Christian Christie, who was inspired by the stave churches.
Ortnevik Church, formerly Ortnevik Chapel, is a red-painted church dating from 1925. The building is made of wood and is built in the "dragon style". The architect and builder was Lars Norevik who lived in the village.
The Hestad chapel was built in 1805, and the old church in Viksdalen is believed to have served as a model. The roof and tower were originally higher than they are today, but they were destroyed by a heavy storm in 1864, so a new roof and tower were built. Since 1805, the interior of the chapel has changed little. Everything except the pulpit and the altarpiece is unpainted.
