Like most other churches in Finnmark, Havøysund church was burned down by the Germans during the evacuation of Finnmark in 1944. The new church was built of whitewashed concrete and dark wooden timbers in a long church style in 1960 by the architect Esben Poulsson. The altarpiece and pulpit decoration were painted by the artist Terje Grøstad. The church seats about 300 people.[2][3][4]
