Opposite the Ewsum lock in Middelstum lies Toornwerd. Formerly a church village, it is now a hamlet. The mound where Toornwerd lay was excavated at the beginning of the 19th century.

The first building of the Toplou Monastery was built in the 15th century but destroyed in 1612 by an earthquake. It was rebuilt with the financial support of the Venetian rulers of the island but was destroyed again by the Ottomans.

The monastery of Toplou is located in the east of Crete, in the natural area of the Toplou Gorge. The monastery church is dedicated to Timios Stavros.

The Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, dating from the seventh century, is the main place of Catholic worship on the island of Torcello, in the lagoon of Venice, and the old cathedral of the former diocese of Torcello. The building is a significant example of Venetian-Byzantine style.

This cemetery existed from at least the late 18th century, as can be inferred from the date on the oldest tombstone. The cemetery was demolished during or after WWII. In 1960, a memorial to the 2,000 Jews shot in August 1942 was constructed, along with an obelisk and a fenced mass grave. The southern section of the cemetery still contains tombstones and is severely overgrown.

Kloosterburen has been a Roman Catholic enclave for centuries in the predominantly Calvinist Groningen. Only the heavy saddle roof tower from 1685 is owned by the Oude Groninger Kerken Foundation. Inside the tower there is a clock cast by Geert van Wou in 1501, probably from the tower of the church in Groningen.

The most striking aspect of this church is the tower, which dates from the 13th century. It was raised in 1275, and in 1840-'44 again lowered with one articulation. The original canal around the church was filled in in the 20th century.

There appears to have been two Jewish cemeteries in Tornyospálca. This cemetery was established as early as 1848, since the oldest tombstone found in the cemetery dates to that year. The latest tombstone was erected in 1943. The cemetery has been fenced.

The Torpo church is a long church dating from 1880. The former Stave church, located nearby, became the property of the municipality in 1875, and shortly afterwards a new church was built. The church in Torpo was designed by Conrad Fredrik von der Lippe and built by the builder Andreas Keitel.

Torpo Stave Church is believed to have been built around 1160 making it the only preserved stave church from the Middle Ages in the Hallingdal valley. While it was under construction in 1880, the choir of the church was demolished.
