Ål Church is a long wooden church with a large rectangular nave and a narrower choir, with a right end to the east and a tower to the west. In the 1950s the church was rebuilt under the direction of the architect Fredrik Konow-Lund.

Torpo Stave Church is believed to have been built around 1160 making it the only preserved stave church from the Middle Ages in the Hallingdal valley. While it was under construction in 1880, the choir of the church was demolished.
The Torpo church is a long church dating from 1880. The former Stave church, located nearby, became the property of the municipality in 1875, and shortly afterwards a new church was built. The church in Torpo was designed by Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe and built by the builder Andreas Keitel.
