The Royal Chapel of Versailles was built by Jules Hardouin-Mansart between 1698 and 1710. Several chapel projects followed one another and in 1679, it was decided to definitively place the religious building in the north wing, near the King's apartment. Then, in 1684-1685 a new plan was created, the monument was largely inspired by that of the Invalides with a dome and a plan centred to occupy the median space of the north wing, but it was abandoned in 1687. The chapel was blessed by the Cardinal of Noailles on June 5, 1710.

The Church of Charles is a neo-Romanesque church built between 1862 and 1870 according to the plan of the architects Otto Pius Hippius and Rudolf von Bernhard. A church has existed here since medieval times. In 1670, a wooden church was consecrated on this site, sponsored by Charles XI of Sweden, whose name remains that of the church. The building was burnt down by Sweden during the Great Northern War in 1710, when troops of the Tsarist state of Moscow approached Tallinn.

The Charlottenlund church dates from 1973 and was designed by architect Roar Tønseth. The concrete building is a "working church" (multi-purpose church): In addition to being a church, the building also houses a kindergarten, a hairdresser's salon and an apartment.

The interior of the mosque was largely altered and modernized with the original wooden ceilings replaced by a plastering one.

Built in 1194, after a fire that destroyed the old cathedral, the Chartes Cathedral marks the highest point of the French Gothic art. This UNESCO World Heritage site is in remarkable conditions—known for the astonishing color of the beautiful stained-glass windows, called blue of Chartres.

The church is dedicated to Saint Flour, Bishop of Lodève. Its construction dates back to the 13th century. Its south portal and the two side chapels date from the 14th century. The bell tower was partially rebuilt in the middle of the 16th century.

The castle of Chèze was built on the coasts of Armor by Eudon II in the twelfth century. The castle was passed into the hands of the Rohan family who built, in the fifteenth century, their accounting room. In 1629, the castle was dismantled by order of Richelieu. Some of the stones are sold on August 25, 1743, in order to construct the new church of Loudéac.

The Chatham Memorial Synagogue in Rochester was built between 1865 and 1870 by architect Hyman Henry Collins. This stone building in the Neo-Romanesque style still serves as a synagogue.

Standing just a few yards from the River Thames, this historic church has a history going back into the depths of the Dark Ages. There was almost certainly a church in this spot by the 8th century, and it served as the parish church for Chelsea before the area was absorbed into the growing London metropolis.

The period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. It first appears on a cadastral map in 1865, but the earliest preserved gravestone dates from the first half of the 19th century. The cemetery was fenced by ESJF in 2018.
