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.

The Vestre Jakobselv Church, formerly the Vestre Jakobselv Chapel, is a long church from 1940. It was designed by the State Building Inspector's Office and is built of wood. The designs for the chapel of Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Märtha in the forest village of Tørberget in the municipality of Trysil were reused.
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.
The Vadsø church is a long church built in concrete according to the designs of the architect Magnus Poulsson. The church has a double tower at the entrance, at the top, connected by a gable. In the space between the towers is a tall golden spire. Above the entrance door is a golden sculpture of the disciple Peter.
