Reformed Good Shepherd Church in Grootegast from 1958. Important late work in the oeuvre of Egbert Reitsma (1892-1976), designed in collaboration with his son LH Reitsma. Large, octagonal hall church with a tent roof in the form of a central construction. On the left in front of the church is a freestanding, openwork bell tower. Typologically rare in Reformed church architecture due to the application of the pure central construction form.

Characteristic Boeyingakerk with roof turret.

Built as Reformed Good Shepherd Church. Modern church with tower. In 2017 the church was sold to the Evangelical Community De Ark. The church building is now called Trefpunt.

Nice hall church with characteristic roof turret, on which the weather vane "The Good Shepherd" can be seen. Out of use as a Reformed Church in 1980, then in use as a Christian Reformed Church, which then left its older church building on Floresstraat. Renovated and expanded with ancillary rooms in 2007.

The Good Shepherd Church was designed in 1937-38 by architect Egbert Reitsma. It is a fine example of the expressionist Amsterdam School.

The church in Goingarijp is one of the churches with its own clock chair. That makes the church special - even if the clock chair was often a choice of poverty. The stained glass windows are a special attraction for the many (water sports) tourists who visit this church.

The Gol church, designed by architect Henrik Nissen, was completed in 1882, after the former Stave church in the city had to give way and was moved to Bygdøy kongsgard, in the area that is now the Oslo Folk Museum. The former Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments, which was responsible for the moving of the stave church operation, donated the old building to King Oscar II.

The Gol Stave Church dates back to around 1200. Since 1884 the church has been owned by the ruling monarch in Norway since Oscar II (1872 - 1907) moved it to its open-air museum. It has four copies, two in Norway and two in the United States. The church is now a part of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History.

The Goldene Rose Synagogue (Taz, Turei-Zahav, Nachmanowicz) in Lviv is an Ashkenazi synagogue founded in 1582 but destroyed in 1941-43. Over the centuries, this synagogue acquired different styles such as Gothic Survival or Mannerism. It is now abandoned.
