The Parochialkirche is the oldest parish church of the Reformed Community of Berlin, built between 1695 and 1703. The building was initially constructed according to the plans of the architect Johann Arnold Nering, who died on 21 October 1695 before completing his work. Further construction was then supervised by the architect Martin Grünberg. The vault collapsed on itself on 27 September 1698, delaying the work. The inauguration finally took place on 8 July 1703.

It is a mosque in the historic neighborhood of Parruca in Shkodra. The new mosque was built in 1937 on the remains of a old mosque with no special style or any artistic ornament. It was then destroyed by the end of 1967 as a result of the communist anti-religious campaign. In 2017 the rebuilt mosque was inaugurated.

The church was originally built in 1497, on top of a former defence tower. At this time, the church was dedicated to Our Lady of Rosary. From the beginning of the 16th century, more precisely in 1511, the church of Dei?? had a baptistery installed, and some 20 years later, the church was granted authority to perform funerals, to much happiness of the inhabitants of Dei?? who no longer had to go to the nearby town of Valldemossa. In 1584, the church was given its current name, dedicated to Sant Joan Baptista (John the Baptist). In 1752, a terrible fire destroyed much of the church, and it took almost a century to rebuild it. During these works, the Dei?? church had its bell tower constructed. The last part that has went through renovation, is the presbytery, which was done in 1958.

The first church of Andratx, was documented in a Bull by pove Innocents IV in 1248. However, this church wasn???t constructed until between the fourteenth and fifteenth century. This construction is angled perpendicular to the previous temple, with the portal pointing North, without bell tower, without sacristy or lateral chapels. In the middle of the fifteenth century, a defense tower was built next to the church, because of pirate attacks. However, it wasn???t until the late 1700???s the construction you see before you today was built. It was here, that the bell tower was added, just like the sacristy and the special chapel of blood.

The cemetery was probably established in the 19th century, though the exact date is unknown. In 1862, Tzadik Jehoszua Asher Rabinowicz was buried in the cemetery. At the beginning of the 20th century, the cemetery was surrounded by a brick and wooden fence. There was an ohel over the graves of the tzadikim from the local Hasidic dynasty. The cemetery is currently owned by the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage.
