Now a church building of the Protestant Community of Bierum, Holwierde and Krewerd. A straight-closed hall church with round-arched windows and a roof turret, divided by lesenes, built in 1890 by contractor Scheltens. The partly open roof turret was renovated in 1971. The interior was radically changed in 1987 to a design by architect JA Jongman.

Presumably, the Jewish cemetery of Irlyava was established in the 19th century. According to epigraphic data, it already existed in 1875. The cemetery was used presumably until WWII, although the most recent preserved gravestone dates to 1927.

Irsina Cathedral is said to have been rebuilt after a fire in the Romanesque style in 988; it was again rebuilt and enlarged after a sack in 1133. The church was substantially modified in the Baroque style in the 18th century and consecrated in 1802. Only the bell tower, in addition to the Romanesque crypt, has retained its original appearance, Romanesque in the lower part and Gothic in the upper part, with mullioned windows and hanging arches. A major restoration, which lasted over a year, was completed in early 2016.

The synagogue was built in 1644 by a wealthy merchant and financier named Isaac Yakubovich.
