Patti Cathedral was built in Norman times, and after the earthquake of 1693, it had to be almost completely rebuilt. However, the bell tower of 1588 has been preserved. In the right arm of the transept is the tomb of Countess Adelasia of Sicily (1072-1118), the mother of Roger II of Sicily, who lies in a Renaissance sarcophagus.

Built in 1958, the Paul-Gerhardt Church in Bielefeld merged in 2005. Protests erupted in 2007 when it was sold to the Jewish community. After renovations, it became the Beit Tikwa synagogue in September 2008.

The Paulinum has a double function, that of a church, "St. Paul's University Church", and that of an assembly hall. The building was constructed between 2007 and 2017 according to the plans of Dutch architect Erick van Egeraat on the site where the University Church of St. Paul was destroyed by the explosion on 30 May 1968. Completion of the building was originally planned for the university's anniversary year in 2009 but was only partially completed by that date.

The church of St. Paul, also called “Paulskirche” was built from 1892 to 1906 in neo-gothic style. With the 97-meter-high east tower, St. Paul is the highest church of Munich.

The 1892 Paulus Church is a typical long church with cross arms near the chancel to the west and a tower above the entrance to the east. It is built of plastered red brick. The church, designed by the architect Henrik Bull, is richly designed and characterised by the German neo-Gothic style of the time, inspired by the Hanoverian architect Johannes Otzen, just like the Sagene church of 1891.

Built as a Reformed church to replace an older church building elsewhere in Beilen. Interesting reconstruction church with freestanding tower. Later Samen Op Wegkerk. Now a church of the Protestant Community of Beilen. In 2000 this building was named Pauluskerk.

In the post-war period, Leerdam expanded strongly in the Leerdam-West district. Church services had also been held there since the sixties; namely in the Rehoboth building on the Tiendweg. However, this building gradually became too small for the congregation, so plans were made for a new church in West. The church was placed on the Europaplein, where it was given a dominant position – at the end of the Joost de Jongestraat – partly because its tower is visible from afar. The construction was carried out by the firm Schuite & De Graaf. The building, which can accommodate 600 people, was designed as a rectangle, with the actual church building as the main part, behind which are several ancillary rooms. The foundation stone was laid on 6 February 1960, while the official opening took place on 26 January 1961. The celebrant in the service at the opening was the then district minister, ds. K. Ooms. His sermon was about 'the miraculous catch of fish' from Luke 5. This choice of text had to do with the image of the miraculous catch of fish on the north wall of the church. In 1988, the adjacent rooms were thoroughly renovated and expanded. The large 'Rehoboth Hall' was also created (which now has the image of the miraculous catch of fish on the inner wall). These rooms now offer all the possibilities for the various forms of church youth work; and are also very regularly rented out to third parties.
