The New Synagogue in Khust was built in the mid-19th century with a simple rural Baroque facade. It was built with a twin synagogue beside it, but the twin was destroyed under Soviet rule. The interior is notable for the impressive ceiling painting and it is an example of a nine-bay synagogue built around a four-pillar central Bimah.

The New Synagogue of Ostrów Wielkopolski was built from 1857 to 1860 in the Moorish style. The synagogue was intended to replace the old synagogue, which had become too small for the city's Jewish community. Quite preserved during the Second World War, the building has since been restored for many artistic and educational purposes.

The building is located in the northern part of the village (in the old village centre).

The building is located on the western edge of the village.

The New Town Synagogue in Dębica (ul. Krakowska 3) was built in the second half of the eighteenth century in the late baroque style. It is indicated on the Austrian land registration map from 1849. The prayer hall occupies the north-eastern part of the building and is based on a rectangular ground plan with dimensions of 16 by 30 m; there is a vestibule with a women's section on the upper floor. A nine-bay hall is spanned with a flat ceiling. The walls used to be decorated with paintings. The interior is now devoid of all traces of the original appliances. During World War II, the Nazis completely burned the interior of the synagogue. After 1945, the building was used as a grain storage and in 1954 it was renovated and used as a market hall. During those renovations, materials from the disassembled Old Town Synagogue in Wielopolska Street were used. In 1994, the building was renovated again as a museum, part of which was to be devoted to the history of the Jews of Dębica. Despite the destruction and neglect, many features of the original synagogue are still discernable. The layout of the prayer hall is nine-bay, featuring four massive interior piers. There are wall pilasters and round-headed windows typical of late baroque period. There is an information plaque outside the building; it explains the history of the synagogue.

The New West End Synagogue in London was constructed from 1877 to 1879 and was designed by the Scottish arhitect, George Audsley. In 2007 this synagogue was declared a national monument. The synagogue is still in use and services are still held here weekly

Newman University Church is a Catholic church in Dublin, built in 1855-56. It was founded by John Henry Newman for the newly established Catholic University of Ireland, and designed in a neo-Byzantine style, due to the architect's aversion to Gothic architecture. The interior is richly decorated with marble and serpentine from many parts of Ireland.

St Patrick's and St Colman's Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Newry, built between 1825 and 1829. The former Cathedral of Christ the Redeemer in Dromore, reclaimed by the Anglicans, was burnt down during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and rebuilt by Bishop Taylor 20 years later; the Catholic cathedral was then built. The cathedral, however, was moved 200 years earlier to Newry, the largest town in County Down, and strategically located at the end of Carlingford Lough.

Nicastro Cathedral was built in the Byzantine period in an unknown place. In 1100, Countess Eremburga, niece of Robert Guiscard, built a new cathedral dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, majestic and in Romanesque style. This building collapsed in the earthquake of 1638, and in 1640 Bishop Giovan Tommaso Perrone began building a new cathedral on the present site. At the end of the 19th century, the 17th-century facade completely lost its architectural character, and the facade was modified again in 1925, resuming its current design. In 1935, the maiolica-covered dome was raised and in the middle of the 20th century, the present staircase was built.

The Nicholas Church of Koarnjum was built in 1873, replacing a dilapidated early medieval church. In the choir of the church are three signs with the ten commandments, the creed and Our Father, all from the previous church. The tomb of the young philosopher David van Goorle (1591-1612) is found in the aisle.
