The Digermulen church is an octagonal concrete church inaugurated on June 23rd, 1951. In November 1941, Professor Ewald Bosse and his wife donated 30,000 crowns for the construction of a small church somewhere in Hålogaland. Bishop Wollert Krohn-Hansen of the diocese of Hålogaland agreed with Provost Kristen Skjeseth of Vågan to use the money to build a church in Digermulen. However, construction of the church did not begin until July 1950.

Dijon's Saint-Bénigne Cathedral is a Gothic church dating from the 13th century. Originally an abbey church, it only became a cathedral in 1792 following the church of Saint Etienne de Dijon which had first received the seat of the bishopric of Dijon created in 1731. The crypt, founded in the 6th century, is the oldest part of the building, which is thought to be the origin of the building as it housed the tomb of Saint Bénigne. The church was given a rotunda in the 11th century, which was destroyed in 1792, except for the crypt on the lower floor of the rotunda.

Dionysiou Monastery is one of the 20 self-governing Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Mount Athos. It is ranked fifth in the Athonite, the hierarchical order of the monasteries on the Athos Peninsula.

The single-nave church has a pseudo-transept in the middle and a square tower on the east side, which is placed centrally against the front facade. The building, made of light brown, sanded bricks, is covered by a composite saddle roof of black glazed Dutch tiles; the tower by a saddle roof of black glazed Dutch tiles between gables, which are crowned by pirons. All tower facades are decorated with a large recessed field, which is closed off at the top by a dentil moulding. On the east side a wooden door with above it a brick square moulding in which the facade stone is placed. Above this a vertical window with stained glass and, below the two sound holes, the clockwork, the dials of which consist of ceramic tableaux. In the west facade is the contemporary (1927) mechanical ceramic clockwork with two sound holes above it and in the facades on the north and south sides three vertical windows with stained glass, the clockwork and the two sound holes. All sound holes are equipped with six sound boards. Above the clockwork is the clock. In the (eastern) front facade of the church, two vertical windows with stained glass are placed on either side of the tower.

At first sight a remarkable church. The tower is built in on three sides and the south wall is very low, with a kind of farm windows. The tower was built in the 12th century near a Romanesque (also tuff stone) nave and had a chapel on the upper floor that opened onto the nave. Due to lack of space, they started working on it vigorously in the 15th century. A new, now Gothic choir was added, and side aisles were added under the same roof as the central nave, so resting on very low side walls. This is how the tower was built in. The Romanesque tower vault was demolished, creating a high portal that opened onto the side aisles and that received its light from a Gothic window in the west wall. Apostle figures, a Christopher figure and remains of saint figures were painted in the choir. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church is often called Jacobi-church, after apostle James the Greater. Entries in the oldest writings, however, point to patronage by Dionysius.
