The church in Komagfjord is a cross church dating from 1960. The first church in Komagfjorden was consecrated on 15 September 1887. It was a long church, and it was situated a little higher up the hill, above the shop and the quay. The church was, like most of Finnmark, burnt down by the German occupation forces when they withdrew from Finnmark in the autumn of 1944.

Two parish churches could be found for the place. The first bears the ekklesionym Agios Afxentios and is located in the eastern part of the original settlement core. The exact year of the church's construction is not known. However, various stages of construction can be seen on the building. The oldest parts may date back to the 16th century.

The second parish church is dedicated to Agios Georgios and is located centrally in the original settlement core. According to Kassinis, the church was built between 1873 and 1898. After 1974, the church was converted into a cultural centre.

The Agios Loukas Chapelis located at the southwestern access road on a slight rise. The building is in a ruinous condition. Large cracks can be seen in the walls and the roof has largely collapsed.

Komnes church is a wooden church built in 1881.

The King Oscar II Chapel was built in 1869 to mark the 1826 border between Russia and Norway. The builder Johnsen from Romerike built the chapel according to the designs of J. W. Nordan. The church was named after Oscar II after his visit in 1873.

The church in Kongsberg, which was consecrated in 1761, was designed by J. A. Stukenbrock, but it was M. Heltzen who completed the building after Stukenbrock's death. Kongsberg was the second largest town in Norway at that time due to the silver industry, and the location and size of the church show that it was a prestigious building for the town. Externally, the church has a simple brick exterior with large arched windows and high ceilings, and a tower that rises above the roof on the arm of the cross behind the altarpiece.

The Kongsdelene church was designed by Halfdan Berle in 1905. The church, with its pilasters, is inspired by the classicism of the time.

St. Agnes church, a prominent example of Brutalist architecture in Berlin-Kreuzberg, was built by Werner Düttmann in 1967. Renovated by Arno Brandlhuber, it now serves as KÖNIG GALERIE, an art space featuring interdisciplinary works.

Built in 1926-1927 to a design by BT Boeyinga in a pronounced urban planning location on the north side of the Kloppersingel. Because the church is located at the head of two street walls (Kloppersingel and Zocherstraat), the building is only freestanding on the north, east and south sides. The west side is blind. The church, which has been called Koningskerk since 1960, was built on behalf of the Reformed Church of Haarlem, which sold the place of worship to the Evangelical Community Zuiderkapel a few years ago. The expressionist character of this 'Gesamtkunstwerk', in which architecture, sculpture (T. van Reijn) and stained glass art (N. Schrier) form part of the design, is stylistically related to the architectural style of the Amsterdam School.
