The Oppheim church was built of wood in 1871. The architect of the building was the builder Ole Vangberg, who was also responsible for the neighbouring church in Vinje, built in the same year. Before these two churches stood a 17th-century church, itself replacing a 14th-century stave church.

The Vinje church is a long wooden church built in 1871. The architect of the church was the builder Ole Vangberg. Vangberg also designed the church in Oppheim, which was built in the same year as the church in Vinje.
Raundalen church is a long church from 1921, designed by Haldor Larsen Børve. It has elements of Stave church style. The Raundalen cemetery was opened in 1905. The bell tower next to the church is probably from the same period and therefore older than the church.
The Voss church is a stone church dating from 1271. The church underwent a major restoration led by Chr. Christie in the 1870s. The only thing that remains of the original medieval furniture is the stone altar.
