The church in Tretten is a cruciform church made of slatted wood. The wood from the old church from the 16th century was reused in the new church, which was first tarred, then painted red, and in 1807 it was given the white colour of the time. The high tower that was to stand in the centre of the cross has been placed next to the church since 2000 due to damage.
The Follebu church is a rectangular church built in whitewashed stone probably in the 13th century. The church has undergone several modifications and reconstructions. The sacristy of 1868 was enlarged in 1913. The porch of the church was built in 1872.
Fåberg Church, which was completed in 1727, is a half-timbered cruciform church with exterior panels and a low west tower. The congregation had bought the church site in 1723, in connection with the king of 1721, who sold a total of 620 churches in the country to congregations and private individuals. It was decided to build a new church, which was to be built on Onsumjordet and not on the site of the old one, which was a stave church from the second half of the twelfth century.
