Old church of Kviteseid

The old church of Kviteseid is a stone church from the 13th century. In the 18th century, the church was given a porch in front of the south portal. The roofer is from the 19th century. In 1915 a new church was built and the old church was taken out of use. The choir has a dedication cross from the 13th century and frescoes of animals, ships, a soldier and inscriptions, probably from the 15th-16th century.

Vrådal Church

The present church of Vrådal, built in 1887, is the third church of the village. The two previous churches were about 4 kilometres further east, where the old cemetery can still be seen. The first church, a stave church, was replaced by an octagonal wooden church in 1685 (consecrated in 1686). It is said to be the first octagonal church in the country, but it was demolished in 1888 after the new church was used.
