The mosque in Geneva, inaugurated in 1978, is the largest mosque in French-speaking Switzerland and one of the four Swiss mosques to have a 22-metre high minaret. The building includes a conference room, a library, a school and a mortuary for the ritual purification of funerals.

Built on a former basilica site, the Cathedral of San Lorenzo was erected around 1098. Partly reworked until the seventeenth century, the church displays many styles ranging from Gothic to Mannerism.

The church was first mentioned in the 11th century. Before that, there must have been a wooden building. The tower is 11th century, the nave Gothic (ca. 1400) and the choir 100 years younger. The church became famous for its tapestries, which were knotted by the Drempt neighbourhoods in the sixties to improve the acoustics. Those problems with the resonance arose after a renovation of the church. (Source: 10 jaar Kerkenpad, Gé Verheul)

The church, dedicated to Agios Georgios, is located in the centre of the original settlement area. It was built in 1950. After 1974, the church was converted into a mosque and used as such until around 2016. At that time, a new mosque had been built in the village. The church building has been left to its own devices since then.

The Panagia Evangelistria Chapel is located approx. 700 m west of the village centre at the top of the hill, overlooking the area. The building itself is in a fair condition. But all doors and windows as well as the bell were removed. The interior is empty and in a poor condition.
