The Salangen church dates back to 1981. It replaces a half-timbered church from 1864 which was burnt down in 1978.
The Gratangen church is a modernist church from 1971, built by the architect Oskar Norderval. The building has a low, flat roof, but two triangular, vertical concrete slabs rise up like a sail. Between the slabs hang the church bells.
Bardu Church was built in 1825-1829, based on the model of Tynset Church, but on a smaller scale. The church has an octagonal plan, a large square tower to the west and a choir to the east. The exterior of the church is clad with vertical panels painted white. The tower was not completed until 1840.
