Åmotsdal church is a wooden church that was built in 1792. The architect of the church is Jarand Aasmundson Rønjom.
The Flatdal church was consecrated in 1654 and replaced a stave church on the site. Parts of the Stave church were reused in the church. Originally the church was a simple long church with a sliding roof, but in 1908 the church was given its present design, with a tower at the west end of the nave and a sacristy near the chancel. The interior is marked by the reconstruction of 1908.
The church in Hjartdal was completed in 1812 and built by the builder Halvor Høgkasin following the model of the three churches designed by Jarand Rønjom (the church in Åmotsdal, the church in Vinje and the church in Rauland).
