Fiskum Old Church (Fiskum gamle kirke) was built in the 13th century. The church was constructed in a rectangular shape, with a short, rectangular nave and lower and narrower, straight closed choir. The edifice is of brick and has 150 seats. The church has a gable roof, and the roof ridge, in the middle of the nave sits a turret.

Fiskum Church (Fiskum kirke) was built north of the medieval Fiskum Old Church in the village of Darbu. It was designed by Heinrich Ernst Schirmer and built in 1866, but burned down in 1902. The walls were considered to be usable, and the restoration of the church were carried out according to plans prepared by architect Jørgen Haslef Berner (1873–1955). It was rebuilt in 1903 but burned down again in 1940. Arnstein Arneberg designed the present church which was finished in 1945. The new church was built in cruciform form in a Gothic Revival style with a tower. Arnstein Arneberg used the ruins of the previous church, and carried several items from structure including windows and an arch over the entrance. The church has a heavy, medieval door.
