Glastonbury Abbey is connected with legend to a degree that is unparalleled by any other abbey in England. Since Medieval times it has held legendary status as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain linked to Joseph of Arimathea and the burial place of King Arthur. The internationally renowned site attracts visitors from around the world for its history, heritage, myths and legends as well as for its spiritual enrichment and there has been a church on the site for at least 1500 years with evidence of even earlier occupation.

The Glemmen church is a brick church that was built in 1853 with a cross-shaped plan. It was burnt down in 1944 and rebuilt in 1949. Many architects have worked on the church in the course of its history: J.F.Lühr (1849) / H.Thrap-Meyer (1888) / A.Arneberg (1949).

St. Peter and St. Paul's Cathedral is an old cathedral, in use until 1643. It is the largest of Glendalough's seven churches and was built in several stages from the 10th century to the early 13th century. The oldest part of the ruin is the present nave. The choir and sacristy date from the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The market cross, which is now in the visitors' centre, was reconstructed in the 19th century from fragments scattered around the site. It may have originally stood opposite the west portal of the cathedral.

Glesne Chapel dates from 1909. The building is made of wood and was designed by the architect Hans Horn.

The present Glimåkra Church stands on the site of a medieval stone church, probably built in the late 12th century. In 1612, the troops of Gustav II Adolf (1611-1632) ravaged the area, which partially affected the church, and the bell tower was destroyed. Eventually the church was repaired and a new bell tower was in place by 1696. The increase in population led to the construction of two pulpits in the 17th century. This did not fully meet the needs and in 1706 the church was extended with a north transept, the so-called new church. After considering various options for further extensions to the church, it was decided to demolish it in 1836-37 and replace it with the present building.
