Newman University Church is a Catholic church in Dublin, built in 1855-56. It was founded by John Henry Newman for the newly established Catholic University of Ireland, and designed in a neo-Byzantine style, due to the architect's aversion to Gothic architecture. The interior is richly decorated with marble and serpentine from many parts of Ireland.

St Patrick's and St Colman's Cathedral is the Catholic cathedral of Newry, built between 1825 and 1829. The former Cathedral of Christ the Redeemer in Dromore, reclaimed by the Anglicans, was burnt down during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and rebuilt by Bishop Taylor 20 years later; the Catholic cathedral was then built. The cathedral, however, was moved 200 years earlier to Newry, the largest town in County Down, and strategically located at the end of Carlingford Lough.

Nicastro Cathedral was built in the Byzantine period in an unknown place. In 1100, Countess Eremburga, niece of Robert Guiscard, built a new cathedral dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, majestic and in Romanesque style. This building collapsed in the earthquake of 1638, and in 1640 Bishop Giovan Tommaso Perrone began building a new cathedral on the present site. At the end of the 19th century, the 17th-century facade completely lost its architectural character, and the facade was modified again in 1925, resuming its current design. In 1935, the maiolica-covered dome was raised and in the middle of the 20th century, the present staircase was built.

The Nicholas Church of Koarnjum was built in 1873, replacing a dilapidated early medieval church. In the choir of the church are three signs with the ten commandments, the creed and Our Father, all from the previous church. The tomb of the young philosopher David van Goorle (1591-1612) is found in the aisle.

The Nicolaaskerk in Schalsum is particularly special because of the color scheme in the interior. The color scheme of soft pink and soft yellow surprises many visitors. The church is a landmark in Schalsum.

The Nicolaaskerk in Swichum was originally dedicated to Nicholas of Myra. The church stands on a mound that was largely excavated at the beginning of the twentieth century. It has beautiful round windows, a piscina, a hagioscope and a hidden gate.

Nicolaïkerk is a church built in the early 12th century. A monastery church around 1529, the building was taken over by Protestants in 1579.

Nicosia Cathedral dates back to the 12th century. Only the bell tower of the church, with its paintings on the roof beams, dates from the 12th century. The Gothic facade of the main building, dating from the 14th century, has been preserved. The three-nave interior contains sculptures by Antonello Gagini as well as pews and a 17th-century cross.

Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim is the most important church in Norway being the burial place of its patron saint: St. Olav. Built from the 11th to the 14th century, in Romanesque and Gothic style, it suffered extensive damage during a fire in 1531 but was completely rebuilt and served, until 1908, as Norway's coronation church.

The old Niedereisenhausen church is a half-timbered building dating from 1659-62 with a particularly authentic Baroque interior. Demolition was planned in the 1970s, but the church was bought in 1980 and restored from 2014 to 2016.
