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.
