Hopperstad Stave Church was built in 1130 and is, together with Urnes, the oldest stave church in existence.

Hove Stone Church is quite small, but has exquisite forms that bear witness to a wealthy builder and owner. Of the medieval interior, the stone altar has been preserved, and in the altar slab there is a reliquary covered by a marble slab.
