The Sir Moses Montefiore Memorial Synagogue in Grimsby is an Ashkenazi synagogue built in 1885-88 by architect B.S. Jacobs. The synagogue was rebuilt between 1933 and 1935. This brick building in the Neo-Romanesque style still serves as a synagogue.

The present building of Sisak Cathedral dates back to the first half of the 18th century. Traces of it can be found in canonical visits from 1702 to 1760 when the bell tower was built. The church was consecrated in 1765. After the earthquake of 1909, the old baroque facade was replaced by a new one, executed in the neoclassical style with art nouveau details.

Šišatovac Monastery is a Serbian Orthodox monastery founded in the 16th century, overlooking the village of the same name. It is one of the 16 surviving Orthodox monasteries built between the 15th and 18th centuries on the Fruška Gora mountain in Serbia (also known as the Serbian Mount Athos).

The Sistine Chapel, built between about 1475 and 1481, is known to contain the works of some of the greatest Italian artists of the second half of the 15th century, including frescoes by Michelangelo Buonarroti, which cover the vault (about 1508-1512) and the back wall (of the Last Judgement) above the altar (about 1535-1541). It is also the place where the conclave and other official ceremonies of the Pope take place.

The Siuntio Church is a medieval church building that was probably built between 1460 and 1489. The stone church succeeds a wooden church from the early 15th century.

Reformed church on raised churchyard. Deep single-nave church, apparently dating from the 13th century based on narrow windows partly framed by beads. The tower, also dating from the 13th century, was clad in hard red stone in 1904. In the church, a graceful pulpit with steps, rear bulkhead and sounding board, as well as a matching baptismal fence in 1768/9 with baptismal arch and baptismal cymbal holder, and four singing boards, all carved by JG Hempel from Sneek. Surrounding wainscoting with simple pews and two covered gentlemen's pews. Western wall with carved pilasters and frame above which an organ case made in 1767 by AA Hinsz. In 1924, Bakker & Timmenga placed a new instrument with two manuals and free pedal and a simple balustrade in the old case. Law board. In the front church, a dial from 1693 and a number of tombstones, including four from the 16th century. Bell tower with clock by G. van Wou and J. Schonenborch, 1513, diam. 153 cm.

Charming small reconstruction church with original tower. Built as the Reformed Church of Dinteloord and Steenbergen. The church replaced a small church from around 1900, which was irreparably destroyed in 1944. One of the later churches of the Groningen office of E. and LH Reitsma. Quite a rare example of post-war Reformed church construction below the major rivers. This is probably also the only church of Reitsma in the south of the country. From 1953 to 1964, church services of the Reformed Church were also held here.

For the benefit of a number of Moluccan families, originating from the former Lunetten camp in Vught, a Moluccan church was built in the De Reit district in 's-Hertogenbosch between 1980 and 1982. At the time, the government wanted the residents of this camp to move to new housing estates in the area in order to promote integration. A number of families then settled in the De Reit district on a voluntary basis. The 'Sjalomkerk' on the Ploossche Hof was designed by architect JP Thole from Zaltbommel.

The Sjåstad church, completed in 1896, was built on the initiative of the Hofgaard family, who ran the local industry. They have their own family cemetery on the church grounds. On the cemetery is a burial chapel dating from 1916 (restored in 1995).
