The Njurunda Church was opened on 13 April 1865 by bishop Anders Fredrik Beckman.   

The 13th century Romanesque basilica was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century, after a new church had been built in the neighbouring precinct in the same time. Disregarding the canonical orientation, the construction was built on the NS direction, with the chancel northward and the bell tower southward. The fortification, which was constructed in the 15th century around the old church, was enforced by five defence towers and had an outer bailey. End of the 18th century the number of towers raised to seven, but only for a short time: just few years later a big part of the wall was demolished and the resulting material was used for the construction of several administrative buildings. The interior furnishing of the church boasts a unitary neoclassical style. The original lining of the galleries is still preserved and it has the form of a shirred curtain.

The present Nola Cathedral was built between 1869 and the beginning of the 20th century according to a project by the architect Nicola Breglia in neo-Renaissance style: it was inaugurated in May 1909 with the placing of the relics of Saint Paulinus. The new construction was necessary due to the devastating arson attack that completely destroyed the old Gothic church on the night of 13th February 1861.

Nonantola Abbey is an important Benedictine abbey founded in 752 by Abbot Anselm of Friuli. In 899 the abbey was plundered by the Magyars and then by the earthquake of 1117. It continued to play an important role; it was the seat of the meeting between Pope Marin I and Emperor Charles the Great and the burial place of Pope Adrian III.

Nonnberg Abbey is an abbey of Benedictine sisters in Salzburg. Founded in the 8th century, it is today one of the Christian convents with the longest continuous activity. Dating mostly from the 16th century, the current monastic complex, with its surrounding walls and archaeological sites, is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the city of Salzburg.

The monastery of Nonneseter may have been built around 1150 and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Today, only the base of the church and the chapel of the south choir, built in the second half of the 13th century, remain of the establishment.

The Park is a well-preserved abbey site. The mix of centuries-old buildings and an authentic landscape make it an oasis of peace on the Leuven outskirts.

The church of Nord-Sel dates from 1932. The church is well preserved on the outside, with the exception of extensions in the late 1950s. The church has a waiting room for baptisms and a storage room in the basement. Most of the furniture dates from the time of construction, with the exception of the 1681 altarpiece.

The church in Nord-Vågsøy, in its present form, replaces a church that burned down in 1945. It is a long concrete church that was consecrated on 24 October 1960 by Bishop Ragnvald Indrebø.
