The Jewish cemetery in Drahovo was first marked on a cadastral map of 1865. Presumably, it was established in the early 19th century, as the oldest found gravestone dates to 1815. The fence was installed by ESJF in September 2015.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown, but it can be assumed that it was founded in the 12th century. It preserves 70 gravestones dating from 1885 to 1935.

The Drangedal church was consecrated in 1775 after the previous church on the site had fallen into ruin and become too small. The church was built of wood with a T-shaped plan and was named the Church of Emmanuel. In 1839-42, a choir was built to the east, so that the church took the shape of a cross. At the same time, it was panelled on the outside and inside.

The Romanesque basilica with buttresses, western tower and chancel with apse was finished in the mid-13th century, thus replacing the former 12th century church. In the fortification phase of 1494 defence levels were built on the tower, nave and chancel. The chancel’s walls were strengthened and heightened up to the nave’s eaves and the side aisles were demolished. In the same period an 8m high defence wall with 5 bastions was erected and it is still preserved today. The Romanesque western portal is decorated with some of the most valuable stone carvings in Transylvania. From the Romanesque construction time the twin blind-arcades, today functioning as windows, are still preserved as well as the walled up round clerestory windows. Ample restoration works have been carried out for several years now and have revealed frescoes on large areas. The valuable 1638 furniture was initially stored away because of the restoration works, but was later moved to a different church for safety reasons.

The Dreifaltigkeitskirche in Cologne-Ossendorf, originally a church for the local community, was built from 1961 to 1963 by architect Georg Rasch. In 2019, it was repurposed into an Aikido dojo.

The church of the Catholic Court in Dresden was built under the elector Friedrich August II of Saxony from 1739 to 1755 in the Baroque style. Severely damaged during the Second World War, the church was restored in 1962.

The Dresden Frauenkirche is a baroque Protestant-Lutheran church, the main building of Dresden Neumarkt. Built from 1726 to 1743, it is considered the largest sandstone in the world. Severely damaged during the Second World War, the GDR kept the ruins intact as a memorial against the war. From 1994 to 2005, the church was completely rebuilt.

Drevja church is a wooden church completed in 1883. The architects of the church were Torolf Prytz and Anders Grenstad, the latter having simplified the drawings of the former. Right next to the church is a monument to the memory of the woodcarver Andreas Nilsskog (1879-1940).

Drevsjø church is a wooden church built in 1847, but with parts from different periods. The wind wing of the tower bears the year 1886, so that major changes could be made at that time. The interior is characterized by modifications made in 1910.

The Cathedral Church of Christ the Redeemer in Dromore was built in the mid 17th century. The first church on the site was the abbey church of the monastery founded by the future St Colman of Dromore around 510. Nothing remains of it, but it became the first cathedral in the diocese of Dromore. In 1870 the church was further enlarged with the addition of a baptistery and the location of the organ, and in 1899 an additional nave was added, giving the building its present layout.
