Granavollen is the site of the [[Sister churches (Norway)|Sister Churches]] ({{langx|no|Søsterkirkene}}). These two stone churches are from the [[Middle Ages]] and were constructed side by side. The smaller and older is the ''Mariakirke'', a single [[nave]] church built in the [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] style, built sometime before 1150.  The neighbouring ''Nikolaikirke'' is a three-aisled [[basilica]], probably inspired by the construction of the ''St. Halvardskirke'' in [[Oslo]]. It was built sometime between 1150 and 1200. According to local [[folklore]], the churches were built by two sisters. These two detested each other so much they could not share the same church. A more likely explanation however, is that the ''Mariakirke'' was built for the local congregation, while the ''Nikolaikirke'' was the main church for Hadeland parish. The [[Granavollen stone]] is located behind the ''Nikolaikirken''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Søsterkirkene |url=https://en.gjovik.com/what-to-do/sosterkirkene-a-landmark-p642143 |access-date=2016-10-01 |publisher=Gjøvikregionen Hadeland Ringerike }}{{Dead link|date=June 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The [[Old Tingelstad Church]] (''Tingelstad St.Petri Kirke'') is another medieval stone church. It is a Romanesque stone church, dated to the 12th century and dedicated to [[St.Peter]].  This church has survived even though it has not been in regular use for some 140 years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tingelstad (St.Petri) Kirke |url=http://www.hadelandlag.org/about/tinkirke.htm |access-date=2016-10-01 |publisher=Hadeland Lag of America}}</ref>

This is also the location of [[Hadeland Folkemuseum]] with a collection of buildings from the area, farm implements, a [[grave mound]] from the [[Viking Age]], and a replica of the 11th century [[Dynna stone|Dynna Runestone]] (''Dynnasteinen''). It also holds an archive of photographs and documents.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dynnasteinen |url=https://snl.no/Dynnasteinen |access-date=2016-10-01 |publisher=Store norske leksikon}}</ref>
