Mo's old church, which was a long wooden church, was demolished due to rot after poor maintenance. The new church was inaugurated in 1720 and is said to have been built by the builder Erik Jakobsen Holten and his son Tore from Bøverdalen. Mo's church has a special Norwegian Y-shaped floor plan. In one vessel there are choirs, and in the other two, there are pews. At the end of the three vessels, there is an extension with a porch, a sacristy and the priest's sacristy. Above the intersection, on the roof, there is a turret. In 1867-68, the church was modernised with, among other things, larger windows.
The church in Vinje is an octagonal wooden church dating from 1820. In 1674, the church was described as so precarious that it had to be demolished, and the following summer a new building was constructed. Gerhard Schønning visited the place in 1773 and made a drawing of the church at that time. It was a simple long church with extra choirs and, according to Schønning's drawing, it had roof railings and small windows.
