St. Petri's Church or Old Church of Tingelstad is a medieval stone church probably dating from the first half of the 13th century. The church was probably built as a private church and is dedicated to St. Peter. The 17th-century furnishings are largely unchanged since 1699 and in good condition.

The Tingelstad church was built of unpainted red bricks according to the drawings of Schirmer and von Hanno. The church is characterised by neo-gothic forms and is relatively large and richly designed. In 1925, the slate at the top of the tower was replaced by copper. In 1958, the church was extended with a baptismal waiting room on the first floor and a chapel in the basement.
The Moen church is a long church built according to the drawings of Harald Aars. In 1952 the church was painted red on the outside, probably for the first time. The interior is marked by the restoration in 1964. At that time the walls were sanded down and the floors sanded down.
Nikolaikirken is the larger of the two medieval stone churches on Granavollen. The two churches go by the name "Sister Churches". The oldest of the sister churches, Mariakirken, was already completed when Nicolaikirken was built around 1150. The Romanesque church resembles the Old Cathedral in Hamar, the Old Aker Church in Oslo and the Ringsaker Church. The common model was St. Hallvard Cathedral.
