Totland Church, formerly the Totland Chapel, is a long wooden church built in 1912. The architects of the building were Lars Sølvberg and Jens Sølvberg. From its construction until 1953 the place of worship had the status of a chapel.
The church in Rugsund was built in 1838 according to standard drawings by the architect Hans Ditlev Franciscus Linstow. The church was renovated, rebuilt and extended in 1911-1912. At that time, among other things, the tower was changed and Lars Kinsarvik carved and painted the altar, pulpit, font and wall decoration.
The Davik church is a long wooden church built in 1886. The church was built according to the plans of the architect Georg Andreas Bull. The first church that stood there was probably a Stave church from the 13th century. The next building, erected in 1655, was a long wooden church. This in turn was replaced by a cross church in 1750, which was finally replaced by the present church because it was too small.
The Kjølsdalen church is a wooden church completed in 1940. The church was built according to the same plans as the Hildrestranda Chapel in Haram. The drawings were made by architect Hans Fredrik Crawfurd-Jensen. During the New Year's hurricane of 1992, the church was severely damaged and almost blown over by the wind. After extensive repair work and the installation of steel beams, the church was better protected against similar damage in the future.
