Hidaard, NL
The first church of this village, according to the chronicles, was built in the year 1303 by a noble maiden from the family of Ubnia, who entered a convent, on the north side of the old convent, next to the stins of Brother Dodo Tjebbinga, who gave this new church a beautiful crucifix; while it was endowed with two beautiful paintings by his two brothers, Gerlacus and Benedictus. However, this church later fell into disrepair due to old age, and in 1508 a completely new one was built for it, and provided with a new tower, because the old one had already collapsed the previous year." The church on the relatively high cemetery mound is surrounded by a gravel path with a double hedge with lime trees. The church was built in 1873 to a design by JA Timmenga to replace an older house of worship. The building is constructed of grey-brown brick with yellow reveals around the windows with iron traceries. The tower is incorporated in the west facade and provided with a wooden superstructure with a constricted, octagonal spire with slates. The church roof has blue glazed, corrugated Frisian tiles. During restoration, the gravestone of the last abbot of Bloemkamp, the Cistercian abbey near Hartwerd, was found. The gravestone of Thomas van Groningen is displayed in the church.

Tihany, HU
The Benedictine Abbey of Tihany was founded by King Andrew I in 1055. The monastery remained miraculously intact throughout the Middle Ages, but an unexpected fire in 1683 destroyed the monastery buildings. Reconstruction began in 1719 according to the plans of the Carmelite architect Márton Wittwer. The medieval buildings were demolished and in more than three decades, in 1754, the large baroque church with two towers was rebuilt. In 1889, during a major renovation of the church, it was decided to decorate the square with wall paintings. In 1950, following the dissolution of the monastic orders by the state, the Benedictines had to leave the monastery again (they had to leave it briefly from 1786 to 1802 following a decree of Joseph II). The parish survived, the monastery first became a social centre and then a museum was set up there. The Benedictines were able to return to Tihany in 1990, but the convent complex was not returned to the state until 1994.
