The small tower-less late Gothic church in Daneş was built in 1506. The tower was much later erected in 1927, as well as its defence levels, probably as a sign of self-assertion towards the 1918 new Romanian state and as a symbol for the 800 years of Saxon history in Transylvania. From the original defence wall only a few remains on the south side and a gate tower with a small watchtower are still preserved. The inner furniture dates back to different time periods: the baptismal font and the pulpit are Baroque, the altar is from 1878 and the organ from 1920. The vault covering the church’s hall was built in 1868.

The Jewish cemetery in Danylovo was first marked on a cadastral map of 1865. Presumably, it was established in the mid-19th century. The fence was installed by ESJF in September 2015.

The small aisle-less church without tower from the 15th century is almost entirely preserved. The chancel was rebuilt in 1500 and the ceiling of the nave dates back to a construction phase from the 19th century. Nothing from the initial defense wall has remained. The importance of the church is given by its mural paintings and constructive details. Painting remains can bee still seen on the western funnel-shaped portal, which features a fine crafted profile. The chancel is richly decorated with figures sculptured in stone placed on the consoles of the ribs. Tracery, the portal of the sacristy, the tabernacle and the sedilia are particularly valuable as well. Conservation works have been carried out in order to preserve the ample paintings in the chancel, representing biblical scenes. The mural paintings on the exterior walls of the chancel are a unique testimony of the past: depictions of the Passions of Christ resemble the mural paintings on the monasteries in Moldavia from the beginning of the 16th century.

Darul Barakaat Mosque is a Muslim place of worship run by the Ahmadiyya Community in Bordesley, Birmingham. It was inaugurated in 2004 by the leader of the Ahmadiyya Community, Mirza Masroor Ahmad.

The monastery of Davidovica dates back to the 13th century (1281 or 1282). Only the church of the monastery, dedicated to the feast of Epiphany, has survived to the present day. It was built on the foundations of a Byzantine basilica from the 6th century, as evidenced by archaeological research which revealed the foundations of the basilica and the remains of a necropolis from the Byzantine period. The monastery itself was destroyed and abandoned at the end of the 17th century and remained in ruins until 1998 when the monastery church was renovated.

The Davik church is a long wooden church built in 1886. The church was built according to the plans of the architect Georg Andreas Bull. The first church that stood there was probably a Stave church from the 13th century. The next building, erected in 1655, was a long wooden church. This in turn was replaced by a cross church in 1750, which was finally replaced by the present church because it was too small.

At the end of the 13th century, in the midst of a period of prosperity, the Bishopric had a series of ecclesiastical buildings built, including a new cathedral built on an old Romanesque sanctuary that had become too small. This building collapsed in 1646, and the construction of the current building was built from 1656 to 1719 on Vauban's plans, and was not completely completed until 1894. Of the 13th century building, only the old gate rebuilt in the north arm remains. This portal is called the Apostles' portal.

A beautiful, secluded building, this is a colonial church from the 19th century with an octagonal roof turret. The arms of the city can be found in the wind vane on turret. In 1754, the 800 inhabitants of the town of Windeweer applied to the municipality of Groningen for a private church with a pastor. Their request was granted almost immediately and in 1755 the city of Groningen build this peat colonial church with a presbytery.

De Duif, formerly a hidden church in the 17th century, was rebuilt as a neoclassical monument in 1857. After restoration, it reopened in 2002 as a cultural venue, preserving its rich history and hosting various events in Amsterdam.

The Groate Church, built in 1844, replaced a brick church that was originally built around 1530. Only the church tower from 1669 was maintained. In 1979 the Alde Fryske Tsjerken Foundation took over the church. The building has undergone radical restoration and has been in use since 1980 as a cultural center. A pilgrim information center has been established in the porch since 2011.
