The old church in Tana was burnt down by the Germans in 1944, so it took twenty years before the new church was completed. The foundation stone was laid in 1962 and the church was consecrated in 1964. The architect was Espen Poulson.

The Polmak church, which was consecrated in 1853, is a simple small long church with a gable roof. It is built in a rather anonymous wooden architecture, presumably vernacular, with corrective remarks by the architect J. H. Nebelong. The church is relatively well preserved, both inside and out, but in 1950 a new sacristy was built and in 1961 the nave was extensively enlarged.
Nesseby Church is a long church from 1858, designed by the architect Christian H. Grosch. It is the second church on the site, the first being the former Kiberg church which was moved to Nesseby in 1746. This church was demolished when the present church was built. The church was not affected by the fire in Finnmark and North-Troms during the Second World War.
