* The ruins of Mo church (''Mo kirkeruin'') are located on the west side of the [[Slidrefjorden]]. The medieval church of stone was built ca. 1215 and was probably out of use after the [[Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein|Reformation]]. The ruins were excavated and restored from 1972–1977.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mo kirkeruin, Vestre Slidre, Oppland |url=https://brage.bibsys.no/xmlui//handle/11250/176086 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161009120538/https://brage.bibsys.no/xmlui//handle/11250/176086 |archive-date=9 October 2016 |access-date=1 September 2016 |publisher=Riksantikvaren}}</ref>
* [[Slidredomen]], a medieval stone-built church, was once the main church for Valdres. The church is built around 1170. The church is entirely made of stone. Its treasures formerly included a chalice presented by Bishop Salomon of Oslo (1322–1352), the only Bishop in Norway to survive the [[Black Death]]. Slidredomen is also known to have had a local bishop.<ref name="Stagg" />
* [[Lomen Stave Church]] is located in the small village of Lomen. It was built circa 1170. The exterior of the present Lomen church is post-[[Protestant Reformation|Reformation]], and only the wall and roof timbers remain from the original building.<ref name="Stagg" />
