The Selimiye Mosque was founded in the 13th century as a Catholic cathedral, the St. Sophia Cathedral. The cathedral may have been built on the site of a Byzantine church already called Haghia Sophia. After the Crusaders took Cyprus in 1191, the construction of a new sanctuary was commissioned by Alice of Champagne, wife of Hugh I of Cyprus (1205-1218). Construction began in 1208 and its consecration took place in 1326. With the occupation of Nicosia by the Ottomans (1570), St. Sophia Cathedral was transformed into a mosque and two minarets were added to a western part of the building. In 1954, the monument was renamed "Selimye Mosque" in honour of Sultan Selim II (1566-1574) who ruled at the time of the conquest of Cyprus.

Although almost nothing of the fortification has been preserved, the church of Seliștat impresses as an example of an almost unaltered fortified church of the early 16th century. Situated on the top of a hill on the high plateau between the valleys of the river Hărtibaciu and Olt the one-aisle church without tower is said to have been built as early as the second half of the 14th century, probably on the site of an earlier building. Around 1500 the chancel was strengthened by adding buttresses, four more stories, and a wooden battle platform. Later the nave was fitted with a barrel vault and a defence level built of bricks and stones. Loops for pouring liquids were left between the buttresses and the wall of the church. Another defence building serving for storing grains has been preserved on the northern side of the site. On the southern side three more buildings were erected: Old and New School and the communal hall, today used as a youth hostel and community center. The modest interior of the church was renovated in 2010.

The Selje church, inaugurated in 1866, is a project of the architect F. H. Stockfleth. It is built in a relatively simple Gothic-Swiss style, with a gable-shaped window frame and exceptional quality carpentry work on the walls. The church is located on the shore and overlooks the island of Selje to the west.

Seljord Church is a stone church in Romanesque style, built between 1150 and 1180 and restored by the National Heritage Board between 1965 and 1972. The church has an elongated nave and an almost square choir with an apse. The porch to the west dates from around 1630, and the only sculptural decoration in the church is in the corner of the nave to the north-east, representing a man's head with a beard. The church is located on the road to St. Olav.

The Sem church, which was probably built in the 12th century, is a long stone church with a rectangular nave and a shorter, lower and straighter choir. The red turret with its high spire dates from 1956. The south choir portal, which has been redesigned, is decorated with Romanesque stone reliefs in some of the granite stones. The church is dedicated to St. Olav.

The seminary church is the second oldest preserved church in Kosice, located in the city center. Originally a Gothic church, it was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. The church was built for the Franciscan order by a family of lords from Perun (Perenyi family) after a fire in 1333. He was consecrated by St. Nicholas. From its preserved Gothic elements, it is clear that it had a beautiful plastic Gothic decoration. The reliefs above the entrance are original, inside the stone saddle by the altar and the arches above the sanctuary and the former monk's choir.

The seminary church is an Orthodox church built in 1882. On 28 June 2011, during the 35th session of the UNESCO Committee, the church was inscribed on the World Heritage List as part of the architectural ensemble of the Residence of Metropolitans of Bukovina and Dalmatia. The five-domed church was built in the Byzantine style with elements of eclecticism. Stylized "crosses of Constantinople" are installed on the domes.

The cemetery was founded in approximately 1880. The graves are not separated by gender, and the inscriptions are written mostly in Hebrew and German.

Sengskroken Church is a wooden church that was built in 1962. The church has a long plan and was designed by the architect Knut P. Bugge. The design of the building was the same as that of the Billefjord chapel in Finnmark.

A primitive building was located at the present location of the cathedral (6th-7th century). In 1122, the architect Henri Sanglier began the reconstruction of the Carolingian cathedral to build one of the first Gothic buildings. The church was consecrated in 1164 by the Pope. The building was completely completed at the end of the 13th century. Chapels were added in the 13th and 14th centuries, then a transept in the 15th and 16th centuries.
