Skoklefall Church, which was built in 1936 to designs by Carl Michaelsen, is a small, simple church with unpanelled wooden walls and low, square eaves over the gable. Farmer Johan Jakobsen provided funds for the construction, and the land was donated by Olav Skoklefald. In 1962 the church was renovated and given a new colour scheme by Terje Grøstad.

The Nesodden church is a medieval stone church with a rectangular nave and narrower choir. In the 1870s, wooden porches and sacristies were built, and as part of the restoration in 1956, these were restored. The baroque portal altarpiece has wings with richly carved acanthus leaves and was probably made by Johan Jørgen Schram in 1715.
