The decoration of the church is mainly carried out by Gunnar Torvund.

Nærøy Church is a medieval stone church with a rectangular nave and a narrower, lower choir at the right end. To the west is a powerful bell tower with a pyramidal roof. After a fire in 1848, the church was left in a state of ruin, and it was not until the 1960s that it was re-roofed. The Friends of Nærøykirka, which was founded in 1997, have put a lot of effort into restoring the church. The choir is the oldest part of the church.
