The former Franciscan monastery in Angermünde was probably founded in 1260. The abbey church, built in the 13th century, was the burial place of several noble families of the Mark Brandenburg. In 1543, with the Reformation, the monastery was secularized and left to decay. Between 1699 and 1788, the abbey church was restored and was partly used by the Huguenots as a Reformed church. The monastery buildings were destroyed at the end of the 18th century, and the church was renovated in the 19th century and during the Nazi regime. After German reunification, the monastery church was converted into an event hall.

Argenschwang, DE
The Argenschwang synagogue was built in the 17th and 18th centuries. The two-storey half-timbered house with rectangular windows was purchased by the Jewish community in the 18th century in order to establish a synagogue there after an extension of the building. The prayer hall was located on the upper floor. The prayer hall had a vaulted wooden ceiling painted with a starry sky. During the pogrom of November 1938, the interior was probably devastated and damaged. In 1980, the exterior of the building was repaired.

Augsburg Cathedral was built in the 11th century in Romanesque style, with Gothic additions in the 14th century. Romanesque construction began in 1043 and was completed in 1065. The two towers, visible from all over the city, were completed in 1075. Many Gothic architectural elements, such as the choir, were added between 1331 and 1431. During the Protestant Reformation, the cathedral lost a good part of its works, some of which were restored. The interior, which had been laid out in Baroque style in the 17th century, regained its medieval appearance in the 19th century with neo-Gothic elements.
