The synagogue in Delft was built in 1862 in a neoclassic style with an Ionic temple facade. Following World War II the Jewish community was strained and the building was unused. In 1996 the synagogue was brought back for use by the Reconstructionist Open Jewish Congregation Klal Yisrael with frequent services on shabbat and Holidays.

Built as the Reformed Southern Church, extension in 1916. Decommissioned as a Reformed Church around 1965. After that used as a storage space.
Built as a Roman Catholic Church with the original name St. Joseph Church. Architecturally extremely important, beautiful work within the oeuvre of EJ Margry, especially because of the front facade with two non-identical towers of 72 m, but also because of many other details in the interior (see also descriptions below). Because of the devotion to Maria van Jesse, up to and including the present, in a side chapel to the left of the choir, this church has been officially called "Maria van Jesse Church" since about the beginning of the 1970s. Popularly, this church was, and is, called "Burgwal Church".
Originally built as Roman Catholic St. Ursula Church. Extremely important historical church building with high tower. The tower is the second highest church tower in the Netherlands, 109 m (the Dom in Utrecht is the highest at 112 m).
