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.

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.

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).

The Sjernarøy church is a long church dating from 1636. The building is made of wood and is built in Renaissance style. Outside the church is painted red, but it was originally tarred. The walls and ceiling inside the church are decorated with pink paint. They were whitewashed in the 19th century, but have been restored. In the 1950s, electric lighting and heating were also installed and the building was insulated. In the church, a memorial has been erected in honour of the author Alfred Hauge (1915-1986), who was from Kyrkjøy.

The NIHS decided in 1981 to build a detached synagogue on the Strait of Messina. This was a building that many Jewish residents of Amstelveen have fond memories of. However, the building no longer met their needs; that is why in December 2012 the synagogue was moved to a larger and more multifunctional building on the Max Havelaarlaan, in the Bankras district of Amstelveen. Since May 1, 2024, the offices of the Jewish Community of Amsterdam (NIHS) have also been located there.
