The timbered Kautokeino church, which dates from 1958, is one of Norway's most frequented, particularly at Easter. Its cheery interior, alive with bright Sami colours, has some fixtures salvaged from the earlier 1701 church that was torched in WWII. Opening hours vary and are not to be relied upon – either ask at the tourist office if they know who has the key or turn up Sunday morning for church.
