The Sæbø church is a long church from 1884. The first church in Sæbø was probably built around 1300, which makes Sæbø one of the first parishes in Nordhordland to have its own church. In the 1860s it became clear that a new church was needed in Sæbø, as the old one did not meet the requirements laid down by law. The work was carried out by the builder Karl Askeland, who had also designed the church.

The Sæle Church is a wooden church built in 1903. The church has a long plan and was designed by the architect Hans Jacob Sparre. Until the construction of the new church, the old stone church from around 1200 on Kvamsøy was the parish church. It was old, small and inaccessible, so many members of the parish worked on the construction of a new church, either on Sæle or on Lindane.
