Mesnali church was built according to drawings by architect Ingeborg Krafft in 1933. The church is clearly inspired by cruciform churches in Gudbrandsdal.
Biri Church is a wooden cruciform church dating from 1777. A lower sacristy is built behind the choir. There are entrances and small porches to the north, west and south. The windows were given their present appearance during a modernisation in 1885, with a large window in each of the sidewalls of the cross arms. The interior has undergone several repairs and restorations over the years. Several layers of paint were removed and the original appearance was restored in the 1930s and 1954.
The Veldre church was built in 2000 after the previous church (from 1726) burned down in 1996. The church is inspired by 19th-century churches, but with modernist features built according to the designs of architects Ulf Zettersten and Roar Jacobsen.
