The Basilica Cathedral of Lucera is an example of Gothic-Anjou architecture, built by order of Charles II of Anjou and consecrated in 1302. Traces of the ancient cathedral, sacked in 663 by the Byzantine Emperor Constantius II, were lost over the following centuries, probably falling into ruin in the 13th century when Frederick II deported the Saracens from Sicily to the city. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the cathedral was renovated in the Baroque style with the addition of four side chapels.

The Ludwigsburg Peace Church was built by the Munich architect Friedrich von Thiersch between 1900 and 1903. The neo-baroque building is decorated with a fresco on the ceiling.

Today it serves as a multipurpose space for the spiritual, community and cultural life of the city of Ludwigsburg.

The church of Lüganuse, dedicated to John the Baptist, was built in the middle of the 14th century. The first mention of the church dates back to 1373. The altar room and the tower were built later.

Luksefjell Church, formerly Luksefjell Chapel, is a long church from 1858, built on land donated by the Løvenskiold family, who owned the Fossum Ironworks and large parts of the forest in the area.

Luleå Cathedral was consecrated on 3 December 1893. It is both the northernmost and the youngest cathedral in Sweden.

After the great fire in the city of Luleå in 1887, the construction of Luleå Cathedral began in 1889.

Lummelunda Church is one of the 92 medieval churches on the island of Gotland.

Lund Cathedral was founded in the 11th century, but there are many indications that it is an ancient church and that the present cathedral began to be built in the early 12th century, after Lund became the seat of the archbishopric of the Nordic countries. The Cathedral was the birthplace of Lund University in 1668 and was even the main teaching and meeting hall of the university until the seat of the university received the Royal House as its first proper building. During the years 1759-1778, extensive restoration work was carried out in the cathedral. From 1845 to 1846, the crypt was extensively restored. Using a specially invented lifting tool, they succeeded in correcting the difficult settling in the walls and vaults. The medieval towers were demolished and replaced by new, sharper towers. The aim of the restoration was to give the cathedral a more coherent and idealised Romanesque style.
