The church in Skare is a long church from 1926. The building was built according to designs by Olaf Nordhagen. Before the church in Skare, the parishioners had to travel to the church in Odda, and in the old days, a trip to the church could take three days for those who lived farthest from the church in Odda.
Ullensvang Church is a long stone church dating from the Middle Ages, with a lower, narrower choir with straight ends. The church was probably built in the second half of the 13th century, while the tower was built in 1883-85, when the church was restored by Chr. Christie. The west portal was then moved and inserted as an entrance portal into the porch at the base of the tower. A sacristy, an office and a stairwell were also built on the north and south sides of the church.
