Hidra Church, an octagonal and cross-shaped church from 1854, is clearly visible when sailing in from the sea. The building environment i Kirkehavn, which is located along the sea is largely well taken care of. Kirkhavn has well-preserved cultural heritage from settlements, stone walls and gutters. The site has a long history of fishing and shipping. Remains of settlements from the stone age have been found in peat layers in the harbour.
