Svarstad church, dating from 1657, is the third church on this site. The previous church itself replaced a Stave church which probably burned down in 1392. It is a long church that reused building elements from the previous church. In the 19th century a porch was built at the western end of the nave and a sacristy at the eastern end of the choir. The church hall has retained much of its 17th and 18th century interiors.
Hvarnes church is a long church from approximately 1705. The church received a sacristy in 1849 and was painted in white in 1872.
The original stone church, dedicated to St. Michael, was built between 1150 and 1250, with a rectangular nave and an almost square choir at the right end. In 1838, the western part was demolished and then extended with a half-timbered and panelled section. In 1903, the bell tower was built on the west side. In 1946, frescoes were discovered in the choir.
