The castle church, also known as the Church of the Reformation, is a Protestant church that is considered the starting point of the Reformation, after Martin Luther posted his 95 theses there on October 31, 1517. From 1490 to 1515, Frederick the Wise had his entire palace rebuilt. In 1496, the castle church was added as the north wing and consecrated in 1503. Since 1996, this church has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The All Saints' Church was originally part of the Cistercian monastery of Sedlec, founded in 1142. The church was restored in the early 18th century in Baroque style. When the monastery was abolished in 1784, the building was bought by aristocrats (Schwarzenberg family) who gave the interior of the church its present appearance.

The present church is from about 1400 but there is ample evidence of an earlier 12th century Norman church. The outward appearance is perpendicular but inside is something unique to English parish churches. Described by Nicholas Pevsner as ‘one of the architectural sensations of Cumberland'.

All Saints’ Parish Church in Sobolów dates from the end of the 16th century. It has a single-nave and was built using log construction.

All Souls was completed in 1880 as a memorial to Walter Farquhar Hook, the Vicar of Leeds who was responsible and famous for the growth of Anglicanism in the city. George Gilbert Scott, perhaps the greatest ecclesiastical architect of the time, designed All Souls on a grand scale, having in mind the nave of one of the great Yorkshire abbeys. He died two days after completing his plans, his design being then carried out by his son, John Oldrid Scott.

All Souls Church, Eastbourne is known to be the only church in Sussex which displays a free standing Campanile or bell tower.

Mosque and Islamic society. Architect: Meinen - Bosch, Hengelo. Year of commissioning: 2003

Historic church with tower, with an eventful, extremely interesting (recent) history. Dutch Reformed Church, originally built as a Roman Catholic church, dedicated to St. Martin (Martinus van Tours). 15th century choir and pseudo-basilica nave. 13th century brick tower. In 1868, this originally sober historic church was expanded and, as the Dutch Reformed Church, lavishly renovated in neo-Gothic style. The tower was given a neo-Gothic spire. In 1873-1874, a beautiful Adema organ was placed in the church, above the entrance. On June 9, 1969, this neo-Gothic "version" of the church, including all inventory and the tower, was completely destroyed by fire. Thanks in part to the great efforts of the local community, this church was rebuilt after the fire, but then in its original sober form, including a tower without a spire, and reconsecrated in 1972. Four modern, colourful stained glass windows were then installed in the choir. A new organ was also installed in the choir, see below. In 2001, two more colourful modern windows were added, thanks to a donation; these two windows are reminiscent of four church buildings in Noord-Scharwoude, which no longer exist (as a church). The official name of this church remains "St. Maartenskerk", but since 1972 it has been popularly called "Allemanskerk", because of the help of "alleman" during the reconstruction after the fire. In 2009, the tower was serviced. Further information about, and many images of, among other things, the windows and the old and new organ can be found on the website of the Protestant Church Langedijk-Noord.

Small, recognizable as such, church hall, with bell tower. Architectural firm Verhagen Eindhoven. Replaced the demolished older church .

This was a remarkable church without a tower. Originally built as a single-nave neo-Gothic church. Modernised and expanded in 1962-1964. The monastery with church was built in 1908 in the then village of Brakkenstein near Nijmegen. The land was donated by the baron of the Brakkesteyn estate. Architect HC van de Leur was commissioned in 1962 to build a new monastery complex and expand the church. He did the latter by designing a new church around the old church, with a spacious chancel. The old neo-Gothic outer walls then formed the pillars in the nave of the church. The monastery also had its own small chapel. The last Holy Mass was held in the church on 14 June 2009. The complex has been demolished. A smaller church was built on this site for the parish of the Holy Sacrament, which was put into use in 2011.
