The Voll church is a wooden church built in 1896 and restored in 1964. The architect of the church was Gabriel Smith. Before the construction of the present church there was a church dating from 1674. Some of the objects in the church come from the old church, such as the Bible from 1732 and the altarpiece from 1648.

The church of Eid is a long church built in 1797 and made of wood. Originally, the tower was in the middle of the church, but it was rebuilt on the porch roof during the reconstruction of 1872-1874. In 1862 Eid became its own parish and the church became the main church.
Vågstranda Church was built in 1870 and restored for its centenary in 1970. The church has the outer outline of a long church. It is built of wood, cut in Trondheim, where the church was also erected in its raw state. The logs were then marked and collected, transported to Vågstranda and put back in place.
Rødven's Stave church was built around 1300, but its choir dates from the 18th century. The sacristy, porch and eaves are also later additions. Inside, the church is characterised by restorations from the 17th and 18th centuries. When the site's new church was consecrated in 1907, the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments took over the moat church.
