The church in Crediton has a history as long as that of any church in Devon. It can be traced in written records back to the early 10th century, and if an 11th century copy of a charter of 739AD is authentic, to almost two centuries earlier. In 739AD Aethelheard, king of the West Saxons, granted land for a monastery. In the early 900's a cathedral was built, almost certainly of wood.

The Holy Cross Church is a wooden Orthodox church built in 1826 in the village of Zborsk and moved to Asipovichy in 1946. It has an elaborate longitudinal and axial composition, formed by a multi-storey bell tower with a tented roof, a long nave, the rectangular prayer hall and a rectangular apse with side sacristies.

The Holy Cross Church is a wooden Orthodox church built around 1766. In 1942 a fire broke out in the temple. In 1943, the church was rebuilt from a dismantled Jewish synagogue that had been transported from Antopal. In 1948 the temple was closed down and the building was used as a warehouse. In 1952, the church building was handed over to the village club. In September 1989, the building was returned to the faithful.

One of the main monuments of Warsaw, the Holy Cross Church was built in 1682. Damaged during the Second World War, it was repaired after the war and still fulfills its role of church for the missionary brothers from Vincent de Paul.

A chapel in Wenduine was first mentioned in 1135. This became the parish church around 1185. Originals parts of the old church can still be found in the south choir and the substructure of the tower. The church underwent its first renovation in the first half of the 13th century. The building was expanded with side aisles and side choirs around 1290. The tower, which also served as a beacon for shipping, was raised between 1546 and 1547. The church was destroyed by the Iconoclasm in 1566. The church was used by the army as a horse shed from 1607. The restorations of the church took place two years later. The church was reduced in size because the number of parishioners had greatly decreased. After Wenduine had developed into a seaside resort, around 1900, the number of churchgoers increased again. A new western part of the church was built in 1906.

The church of the Holy Cross is located on the eastern edge of the village centre. The building was renovated a few years ago.

The Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God is a 12th-century Orthodox cathedral. Only the oldest lower parts of the temple come from the Old Russian period, and most of the present body of the building was created in 1900 as a reconstruction of the original appearance of the object. The first Orthodox church in this place was built by order of Prince Mstislav II of Kyiv in 1156-1160. In 1885, after the Polotsk Synod (incorporation of the Greek-Catholic Church into the Orthodox Church), work began on restoring the building. A special commission cleaned the territory of the ruined cathedral, which was then rebuilt according to the design of G. Kotov in the neo-Byzantine style.

This Roman Catholic church was built on May 22, 1951 at the end of the Zaaiersweg, where it connects via a winding road to the Rozenburglaan. It was inaugurated on July 15, 1952 and consecrated on August 28, 1952 by Monsignor Johannes Petrus Huibers of the Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam. The church was designed by Hugo Anthonius van Oerle and J.J. Schrama.

The building is located outside of the Village in northern direction (approx. 0,8 km).
