The Sæle Church is a wooden church built in 1903. The church has a long plan and was designed by the architect Hans Jacob Sparre. Until the construction of the new church, the old stone church from around 1200 on Kvamsøy was the parish church. It was old, small and inaccessible, so many members of the parish worked on the construction of a new church, either on Sæle or on Lindane.
Hopperstad stavkirke was built around the year 1130, and it stands on its original site. The church is owned by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments which funded its restoration (1885-1891).
Vik Church is a long wooden church built in 1877, designed by the architect Haakon Thorsen. It replaced the Hove church and the Hopperstad Stave church as a parish church.
