Organ front made in 1769 by J.J.Mitterreither. b. Organ case by I.Reichner, made in 1806 for the Remonstrant Church in The Hague and transferred to the Roman Catholic Church in Krommenie in 1864. In 1957 the Vermeulen company placed this case in the Lodewijkkerk. This case contains the instrument that stood behind the Mitterreither front from 1769 to 1957. The instrument contains a lot of pipework from around 1700. The Roman Catholic Lodewijk Church at the Steenschuur has undergone a major restoration. The church has also been completely painted. But the Mittereither organ in particular has been restored. This organ originally stood in the clandestine church at the Appelmarkt, near the Nieuwe Rijn. During the gunpowder explosion in 1807, the cloth hall at the Steenschuur was converted into a Catholic church by order of King Lodewijk Napoleon. Hence the name of the church. When the church was finished, the organ was moved from the church at the Appelmarkt to the new Lodewijk Church.

The Cathedral of Lodi is one of the largest Romanesque churches in Lombardy and the oldest monument in Lodi: the foundation stone of the building was symbolically laid on 3 August 1158, the day the city was founded. The first phase of its construction dates back to the period between 1158 and 1163; the crypt was solemnly inaugurated with the translation of the relics of Saint Bassianus in 1163, in the presence of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. A second phase took place between 1170 and 1180, but the façade was not completed until 1284. Subsequent 18th-century restorations carried out by the architect Francesco Croce changed the original appearance of the building, which was however restored in 1958-1965.

The Loen church is an octagonal wooden church dating from 1838. The master-builder of the building was Elling Waldboe. He was probably inspired by the church in Innvik for the construction of this church. The church has changed little over the years and is therefore one of the churches that give the best impression of what Norwegian churches of this type were like in the first half of the 18th century.

Loftahammar Church was completed in 1764 and replaces a wooden chapel, Hammars Capell, from the early 17th century. The tower was built in 1775-77 and the bells from the old tower were moved to it.

Logtun Church is a stone church probably built around 1500. When a new church was built in the 1860s and the Logtun church was no longer in use, the roof was removed and the church was abandoned. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments took over the church, in exchange for keeping the walls horizontal, and a new roof was put on.

Lojsta Church is one of the 92 medieval churches on the island of Gotland.

Lom Stave church is one of the largest stave churches in Norway. It is a church with three naves, with a choir, a nave and a later apse. The church contains building elements from several different construction periods. The church has three medieval portals with sculptures that are fully or partially preserved. Most of the outer walls have been replaced. In the 17th century, the church underwent major changes, partly due to lack of space. It had transverse ships to the north and south and the ship was extended to the west. A rider with a spire was built on the roof.

The Lomen Stave Church is thought to have been built in the second half of the 12th century. The church was rebuilt and enlarged in 1779. It stopped being used daily in 1914.
