Kvinnherad Church is a whitewashed brick church dating from the mid 13th century. The church has a rectangular nave with an almost square base in the west and a narrower, lower rectangular chancel in the east. The church was probably the main church in Sunnhordland in the Middle Ages, but when Rosendal became a barony in 1678, it became a private church for the baron. The church remained in the ownership of the barony until 1910. The burial chapel to the north of the choir was built for the Rosenkrantz family in the 1670s. In 1913 a vestry was built next to the burial chamber.
