The Church of the Resurrection is an Orthodox church, a beautiful monument of wooden vernacular architecture with characteristics of classicism. It was built in 1854 from wood and in 1866 the bell tower was erected in front of the church. The rectangular building made of solid wood is covered with a gable roof with a hipped roof over the altar. The main facade is characterised by a stylised portico with four columns, above the pediment of which rises an onion-shaped dome on an octagonal light drum. During the construction of the temple, important deviations from the design were made: instead of two domes, one was placed on the front façade, a portico was erected and the projected dimensions were changed.

Construction of the Church of the Resurrection in Essen began in 1929. It was finished in 1930. The architect was Otto Bartning. With the ultra-modern concrete skeleton building, Bartning transferred the tradition of the Protestant central church into the objective formal language of modernity. The stained glass windows were designed by Johan (Jan) Thorn Prikker. The glazing was largely lost during World War II and was restored until 2007 according to the original cartoons.

The Church of the Resurrection was established in 1940 but was not consecrated until 2004 due to the Soviet occupation of the country (1940-1990). The avant-garde design of the church, in the New Objectivist style, dates from the 1920s, and the monumental proportions of the church were intended to celebrate the newly gained independence (1922).

A must-see place in Bagnoles-de-l'Orne, its high perched bell tower overhanging its stone staircase offers a breathtaking view of the town. Its facade, its bell tower and its huge stained glass windows with a strong symbolic, very marked on the aquatic theme: waterfalls, waves, etc... make the fame of this place.

The church was designed by Paul Abadie in 1874. The interior of the nave was inaugurated in 1891. The entire façade was completed in 1914. The consecration was made official on 16 October 1919. The church was then erected as a minor basilica. The building was officially completed in 1923 with the completion of the interior decoration. Paul Abadie managed the site until his death in 1884. He was succeeded by several architects, including Lucien Magne.

The Church of the Sacred Heart and Our Lady of Lourdes is a monumental concrete church in Art Deco style. The building was built from 1928 to 1936 as an Allied memorial of the First World War. The church was desecrated in 2010 and classified as a Walloon heritage site in 2011. Since May 2011, it is for sale.

The Church of the Sacred Heart of Christ is one of the three Catholic churches in the city dating from the pre-communist era. The Jesuit Church of the Sacred Heart was built from 1938 to 1939 on a basilica plan. It was designed by the architect Giovanni Santi in a neo-Romanesque style. In 1967, during the communist period, the church was closed and transformed into a cinema; the façade was then hidden in order to conceal the religious function of the building, and the frescoes were removed. However, the Catholic faithful used to come here to pray in secret. The church regained its religious function after the fall of the communist regime but lost its status as the city's main Catholic church with the construction of St. Paul's Cathedral in 2002.
