The current church in Vágur was consecrated in 1939, replacing an earlier 1860s wooden church on the same site. It is one of the largest village churches in the Faroes, with a steeply pitched roof, white-painted weatherboards, and a slender pyramidal tower at the west end. The interior has the typical box pews, painted altarpiece, and votive ship hung from the ceiling.
Outside, the small churchyard has a number of older headstones moved from earlier burial grounds. The church is usually open on Sunday mornings and during the summer; at other times the key can be borrowed from a neighbour by asking around.
