Grimstad kirke

The Grimstad church was designed by the architect Henrik Thrap-Meyer in 1881 and replaced the town's first church dating from 1849. It was the first neo-Gothic church in Norway to undergo a colour examination in the 1960s and was then restored to its original exterior colours with a yellow-ochre contrast in the structural elements. The interior is a rarely well-preserved example of neo-Gothic decoration with profiled beams, rectilinear construction and distinctive colours.

Fjære Church

Fjære Church is a long stone church from the 12th century. It has a rectangular nave, a narrower and lower chancel with a semicircular end, an apse and a tower over the porch to the west. The south portal of the nave has features that indicate that it was made in the early 12th century, and the head that marks the top of the arch is the oldest round stone carving in Norway. The church in Fjære was restored in 1930 by Holger Sinding-Larsen.

Eide kirke

Eide Church is a cruciform church from 1795. The church must be the third in the area. It was largely built in 1795 and commissioned the following year, but was not considered complete until 1807. It was not officially opened until 17 July 1825. Much of the painting work in the church was done by Guttorm Persen Eftestøl, who also made the pulpit.
