The Nesodden church is a medieval stone church with a rectangular nave and narrower choir. In the 1870s, wooden porches and sacristies were built, and as part of the restoration in 1956, these were restored. The baroque portal altarpiece has wings with richly carved acanthus leaves and was probably made by Johan Jørgen Schram in 1715.

Oppegård Church is a wooden church completed in 1876. The present church is the third on the site. The first church was a stave church known from an inspection in 1688. Based on this description, it is assumed that the stave church consisted of a rectangular nave and a low, narrow chancel.
Skoklefall Church, which was built in 1936 to designs by Carl Michaelsen, is a small, simple church with unpanelled wooden walls and low, square eaves over the gable.
