The construction of the present church of Saint-Lambert took 150 years, from 1375 to 1525. It is a late Gothic building inspired by Cologne Cathedral and St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. The building was restored in the second half of the 19th century and after the Second World War due to war damage. After the Anabaptist riots in the 1530s, the Anabaptist leaders of Münster were tortured and executed, their bodies hung in three iron baskets on the church tower. The baskets were removed in 1881 during the renovation and reattached in 1898. In 1927 they were restored.

The church was erected in 1782-83 in accordance with the architectural plans of Johann Anton Neurohr of Trier. It was transformed and renovated several times. It is a simple and unpretentiously built single-nave church whose striking features include the monumental glass window from the 1950s, a Westenfelder organ built into the tower in 1983 as well as many other artistic works.

This late Romanesque parish church was built from 1182 to 1235 under the impulse of the Abbot of Murbach, replacing a chapel located in the same place. Several additions and modifications have taken place over the centuries, such as the five-sided apse, or the upper parts of the choir.

Founded in 1254, the church of La Chapel Saint Sépulcre is located in the Loiret. It would seem that Saint Louis, who vowed to deliver the Holy Sepulcher in the Holy Lands, is the origin of the name of the church. In the interior there is a beautiful tabernacle (17th-18th century) and a carved group representing a religious scene: Saint Marcoul blessing a kneeling St. Louis (late 16th century).

Saint Luke's is a Roman Catholic Church constructed in 1969. It stands as a good example of a modernist church.

The present building was constructed from 1771-1773 in line with the architectural plans of Paul Mungenast of Echternach, based on the model of the old collegiate church of St. Paulinus in Trier. The paintings are by Ignaz Millim, an immigrant from Moravia. They have been restored several times. The church houses a collection unique in Luxembourg of memorial plaques, commemorating the Lords of Linster.

The church of Saint-Martin in Vieux-Virton can be considered the original parish of Saint-Mard. Indeed, the title Saint-Martin, its extra muros location and the chronology revealed during the excavations point to a very old church. The early church dates from the 8th century and was built of stone. In the 9th or 10th century, a second building was erected. Two carved blocks from the High Roman Empire, which can still be seen today, were used as a replacement. A third construction phase took place in the 10th-11th centuries. It was at this time that the nave was extended.

This collegiate church is one of the largest churches in Ile-de-France. Its construction began in the 12th century. Since 1947 it has been the subject of several restorations, while remaining open to worship and visits. This church is one of the richest in heritage in the entire region.
