L'église Stavkirke d'Øye est généralement datée d'environ 1200. Elle a été démolie vers 1747 lorsqu'une nouvelle église en bois a été construite. En 1935, des parties de l'ancienne stavkirke ont été trouvées sous le plancher des églises en bois et ont servi de point de départ à la reconstruction de la stavkirke entre 1955 et 1965.

The Øye church is a long wooden church with a panelled exterior and a short, rectangular nave and a slightly narrower, straight-ended choir. The ships and choirs have gable roofs, and in the middle of the nave's roof, there is a turret. To the east of the chancel is a vestry dating from 1900 and in front of the west portal of the ship is a porch.
Vang Church, built in 1839, is a cruciform panelled church with a chancel in the north cross arm and the main entrance to the south. The tower on the south side of the nave is almost square in plan, four storeys high and with a recessed octagonal bell chamber at the top, finished with an octagonal tower bonnet. The sacristy is at the north end of the chancel. The old 17th-century altarpiece has been returned to the church.
Heensåsen Church is a wooden church that was built in 1902. The church has a long plan and was designed by the architect Johan J. Meyer. The altarpiece itself was made by Thorstein Verpilen and the crucifix on top of the altarpiece was made by the rural artist Endre O Lien. The pulpit was made by the builder's brother Erik Eriksen.
