Hordabø Church
Hordabø Church, formerly Bø Church, is a long church from 1875. There was a church on the site since the Middle Ages which was probably a stave church, but it is not known when it was built and when it was demolished again. When the church is mentioned again in 1686, it is a wooden church with a tower. The builder Jon Jonsen Alvær built the present church according to the designs of the architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan. The church underwent extensive restoration in 1949.
Herdla kyrkje
The oldest written record of a church in Herdla is a letter from Pope Eugene III in 1146 which mentions the church of St. Nicholas in Herdla. The present church, however, dates from 1863 after a storm demolished the old church in 1861. This church had to be rebuilt several times as it burned down in 1934 and suffered extensive damage during the Second World War. The church was finally completed in 1951
