The Loppa church site has known three generations of wooden churches, the last church of 1747 having been burnt down in 1944. The present church is a long brick church built in 1953, based on drawings by Johan Lindstrøm and Hans Magnus. The interior is characterized by the modernism of the 1930s but has retained some of the furniture from the old churches.

The Notre-Dame de Lorette or Loretto Chapel was built in 1762. Nearly 100 years before its construction, the Count of the Clervaux Castle had built another chapel in the Wëldpark which soon became a destination for pilgrims. The new Rococo Loretto Chapel replaced the old one.

Popularly known as "Los Jerónimos", the Iglesia Parroquial de San Jerónimo el Real was one of the most important convents in Madrid. The building is now a part of the Prado museum.

The Loschwitz Church is a baroque church, the first built by the architect of the Dresden Frauenkirche, George Bähr. The graveyard, which was used as a burial place until 1907, is one of the few churchyard complexes in Saxony that were newly built in the 18th century. The Loschwitz church and the churchyard are listed buildings.

The Loten church is a long stone church from the Middle Ages. The most important reconstruction took place in the 19th century. In 1873, the church was given a west tower to replace the old roofer, and a sacristy was built and windows were installed on the north side. On the spire, the year 1873 commemorates this great redevelopment.

The mosque was located in the northern entrance area of the village. Nothing is known about the history of this building. However, it could be a new building constructed after the earthquake of 1953. In the aerial photographs from 1963, one can clearly see that the building, which is shown as a mosque in the cadastral plan, no longer has a roof, but a small new building exists a little further to the east.

The Lovisenberg church was designed in 1912 by the architect Harald Aars in a neo-Romanesque style with Gothic elements. The building is made of red brick, has a slate-covered gable roof and a side tower. The church hall is decorated with stained glass windows by Maria Vigeland in the choir and sidewalls.

The synagogue on Löwenstrasse in Zürich was an Ashkenazi synagogue from 1883-84. The synagogue was restored in 1936, 1952 and finally in 1993 by the architects Michael Berlowitz and Ron Epstein-Mil. The brick synagogue mixes neo-Moorish and neo-Byzantine elements.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. Since it was not marked on a cadastral map of 1865, most likely it emerged at a later date. The earliest preserved gravestone dates to the beginning of the 20th century.

Built as Dutch Reformed and Reformed Church, now PKN. Architecturally interesting modern church with small tower. In the western expansion district Haagsche Beemden. Also in use by the Roman Catholic Bethlehem parish, after its own Bethlehem church in this district was decommissioned in 2013.
