The (GAH) Synagogue in Suceava was founded in 1870 by the Gmilut Hasadim society. The synagogue was rebuilt many times: in 1910, in 1929, in 1975 and in 1983 (Streja A., and Schwarz L., "The Synagogue in Romania", The Hasefer Publishing House, 2009, 116-117). The modern building, disproportionate and asymmetrical, appeared as a result of numerous renovations. However, three large windows of the prayer hall and smoll windows of the women's gallery on the second floor on the south façade clearly indicate the nature of the building. The women's gallery is located on the second floor and is now on both sides of the prayer hall: on the west and on the north.

The Gmilut Hasidim Debeit Hakneset Prayer House in Kraków is an Ashkenazi synagogue from the 19th century. Put out of use after the Second World War, the synagogue was then restored. This Historicist brick building now serves as a dwelling.

The cemetery was most likely founded in the mid-18th century, in accordance with a by-law signed by the town’s owner on March 23rd, 1745, which included the location of the cemetery. During World War II, local residents began to destroy the area. Tombstones and parts of the wall were taken apart and used for construction purposes. All aboveground traces of the cemetery have since disappeared. The area was later used as pasture and as a limestone depot.

Gniezno Cathedral stands on the hill of Lech, a church site since the 11th century, and the burial place of Saint Adalbert, patron saint of Poland.

The current Gothic building dates back to the 14th century and since 1994 it has been on the list of historical monuments in Poland.

The Congregation of Baptized Christians was founded in 1879. In 1894, it moved into its own church building on Veldbleekstraat in Hengelo. This building was destroyed on October 7, 1944 during the Allied bombing of Hengelo. In December 1950, a new church building was put into use on Marskant 35. In 1972 and 1978, the building was thoroughly renovated, which significantly increased the number of seats. Until 1980, the building was also used by the Christian Reformed Church.

The church building "God is Liefde" in Hekendorp dates from the year 1846. Rev. Steenhoff from Oudewater laid the first stone of the building in 1845, of which he had once promised: "There will be a church in Hekendorp, even if I have to build it out of my own pocket..." Initially, the building seemed to stand on high and solid ground, but over the course of 150 years this turned out to be a big mistake, given the serious subsidence. In addition to the subsidence, the building also suffered a lot from woodworm. So it had to be renovated. After the usual problems with raising the necessary finances, the restoration could finally start in 1990. The walls at the rear of the building were jacked up by dozens of centimetres. Then all the walls were repaired and (except for the pulpit) all the woodwork was replaced. On 26 March 1991, a bell tower was also placed, after which the church could be put back into use with joy and gratitude that same year. Finally, in 1996 the church was provided with a new organ, which had also been desired for years. All in all a fine, compact church that the Hekendorpers can rightly be proud of. In 2003 the church was expanded with the church centre De Wingerd, which is located behind the church along the Hollandsche IJssel.
