Mykland Church is an octagonal church dating from 1832. It was built without plans, but using the church in Hornnes or Årdal (Bygland) as a model. The church was extended in 1882 with a new porch, a raised floor in the choir, a new pulpit, baptismal font and an altarpiece (painted by Christen Brun).

Herefoss Church is an octagonal church dating from 1865 and designed by the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. It is the third church in the town. In 1487, the parish of Herefoss is mentioned in official documents. The two earlier churches were closer to Herefossfjorden, but the town was prone to flooding, so the church was moved further away from the lake.
The Vegusdal church is a cruciform-shaped church dating from 1867. The Vegusdal church was designed by Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe, built in 1866-67 by the architect Schauffert from Arendal and consecrated by Bishop Jacob von der Lippe (the architect's father) in June 1867.
