The old Konnerud church is a wooden church completed in 1858. Before the present church, there was a church on the same site from 1760. This first church was of simple construction, it looked almost like a barn on the outside, and inside there were initially only a few pews, no altarpiece.

The Old Major was built from the 11th century on the site of a first church dating from the 5th century. The cathedral, of Provençal Romanesque style, then had a bell tower added in the 14th century. The destruction of the old cathedral of the Major was decided in 1852, to allow the construction of the new cathedral Sainte-Marie-Majeure in Marseille. The old cathedral only owes its rescue to the intervention of the French Archaeological Society, which blocked its destruction in 1853. Having become a parish church, it remained used for worship until the 1950s.

The Old Mosque was built from 1402 to 1414 by the architect Konyalı Hacı Alâaddin. The mosque, which was damaged by fire in 1749 and by the earthquake in 1752, was repaired during the reign of Mahmud I (1730-1754). After the foundation of the Republic, it was restored in 1924-34.

The oldest part of the old church of Orre is said to have been built around the middle of the 13th century.

On February 1, 2015, the new church for the Old Reformed Church in the Netherlands (OGGN) in Wekerom (municipality of Ede) was put into use. The church was built next to the old church, a workshop that was converted in 1987. The old church will be demolished. The pulpit from the old church was taken to the new church. And the organ from the old church will also remain in use in the new church. That organ is an interesting English organ.
