The Old Synagogue was established in 1352 and gained legal status in the city in 1408. It is owned by the local Jewish community and the main floor functions as a place of worship and a city museum. The interior is a mix of styles from different eras and differs from other European synagogues.

The cemetery was used until World War II, and the most recently preserved gravestone dates to 1938. It preserves 50 gravestones from 1836 to 1938. The site was fenced by ESJF in June 2017.

The Lutheran Dubulti Church is the largest Art Nouveau style stone church in Latvia. The present church was built between 1905 and 1907 by Krišjānis Ķergalvis (1856-1936), a Riga entrepreneur and industrialist and a master mason. The architects of the church were Vilhelms Ludvig Bokslafs (1858-1945) and Edgars Voldemārs Eduards Frīzendorfs (1881-1945). In 1962 the church was converted into a museum and concert hall. It only regained its religious function after Latvia's independence.

Only remaining example of "plasterer's Gothic" in The Hague. Interior from the construction period. Organ by P.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. Since it was not marked on a cadastral map of 1865, most likely it appeared later. The earliest preserved gravestone relates to the end of the 19th century. The cemetery was fenced by ESJF in October 2016.

Hybernů House, an Empire reconstruction of the Baroque Church, became a musical theatre after a long history as a monastery and Gothic church.

Dun Church is a wooden church built in 1949 by architect Arne Sørvig. The church is the second largest in the town. Dun's first church was consecrated in 1900, but it burned down after a lightning strike on July 10, 1944.

The old cathedral was built from 1607 onwards in the Mannerist style. The consecration took place in 1616 before the work was completed, and it was not finished until 1642. From 1718 to 1720, during the "War of Succession", the cathedral was temporarily converted into a military hospital and the women's monastery into a grain store. Following the clashes between Garibaldi's troops and the Bourbons on 20 July 1860, the church was damaged and vandalised, leading to its closure. From 1937, a new cathedral was built, which gave the old cathedral its present name.
