The church in Trysil is a cruciform panelled church built to the designs of the architect Christian H. Grosch in 1861. The church is a typical Grosch church in a combination of Swiss and neo-Gothic style. In 1897, the church received a new altarpiece painted by Johannes Grennes after the Resurrection by Adolph Tidemand in the church in Bragernes. In the chancel hangs a painting of the Eucharist probably by Peter Lillie in the 18th century.

Trøgstad Church is a medieval stone church dating from the mid-13th century. It is plastered on the outside and inside and has lower and narrower choirs. The nave has wooden gables. The sacristy on the north side of the choir was built in 1697 and the nave was enlarged in 1904. Then the porch and the west gable were demolished and the nave was enlarged with a narrower brick extension to the west.

The Trømborg church was built in 1878 by the architect Hjalmar Welhaven. On the site was a small stone church dating from the Middle Ages. In 1732 the west wall was demolished and the porch was extended to extend the nave. The church was still too small for the growing population, and in 1878 a new wooden church was erected south of the old one. It was decided to demolish the old church and use the stones to build a cemetery wall.

The mosque was very probably built in the 1860s by Circassians who fled to Cyprus.As many Muslim residents had died of malaria after 1900, there were hardly any worshippers left and the mosque fell into disrepair.

Construction began on June 23, 1914. By August 1, the foundation of boulders had been laid. Due to the outbreak of World War I, work was suspended and started again in early 1925. Kirch was fully prepared and lit on December 12, 1926. The found letter spoke about who was in the construction: architect A. Pflaum, Master A. Quadfazel and the Artel of the headman Perschke. There, tribute is paid to the efforts of Pastor Wagner, who has secured a construction contract from the church authorities of Konigsberg.

The Turov Episcopal Chair was founded in 1005 and is the second oldest among Orthodox dioceses in Belarus. Like Polotsk bishops, Turov bishops were delivered to the pulpit by Kiev metropolitans. In the synodics of the Varvarinsky Monastery, which in the XIX century was in the Storozhevskaya Church, the names of 23 bishops who occupied the Turov pulpit during the XII - XVI centuries are written.

The reformed church was built in 1893. The hall church with eclectic details has a wooden facade tower. The portal was added later.

The church was built in 1851 on the ancient mound as a replacement for a medieval church with a saddle roof tower. The pulpit dates from the construction period. The organ was built in 1869/70 by the Adema Brothers for the Roman Catholic church in Kuinre and was placed in Burdaard in 1973 by W. Boegem. It has 14 voices. The rest of the interior dates from 1968. The two bells cast in 1638 were requisitioned by the German occupiers in 1943 and were not returned after the war.
