The Synagogue in Luneville was built in 1786 by the architect Augustin-Charles Piroux. It is not decorated with Jewish symbols to meet the request for discretion by the royal power which only tolerated such a building. The synagogue was classified as a historic monument since July 15, 1980. It was the second synagogue to be constructed in France after the expulsion of the Jews in 1394.

The Lunner Church is a cruciform church made of brick and wood which originated in the middle of the 12th century. Originally, the Lunner church was a long stone church with a nave and choir of equal width, and with a round bell tower to the west. However, in the 18th century, the tower and the west wall were demolished and three transverse arms made of turned wood were built. The medieval church is the choir of the present church. The priestly sacristy and the baptismal sacristy were added in the 1930s.

Lurøy Church is a wooden church that was built in 1812. The church has a cross-shaped plan and was designed by the architect John Tverdahl. The parish of Lurøy has existed since before 1432.

It was Christina Charlotte of Württemberg (1645-1699), a noble woman of the house of Württemberg, who ordered the construction of the church in 1675. She arranged demolition material of the closed monastery of Thedinga (near Nüttermoor) to build the new church in Leer. From 1706 until 1710 and in 1738, the church was enlarged. Because of this enlargement, it was possible to build a bell tower on top of the building in 1766. To make space for a bigger organ, the building was enlarged again in 1793. The final construction works to the church were in 1882, when they build a southern wing.

The Lutheran Church, or St Nicholas Church, was built between 1848 and 1852. In 1830, an evangelical Lutheran community was formed in Mykolaiv from sailors and officers of the Russian Black Sea fleet from the Baltic States. One of the initiators of the creation of the Lutheran community was the military governor, Admiral Greig. At the request of the military governor, Admiral MP Lazarev, the Russian Emperor Nicholas I approved the project of building the temple on 18 August 1848. The Englishman Charles Ackroyd was appointed architect for the project.

The Lutheran Church of Odessa was built in the 19th century to attract German settlers to the Russian Empire. The first Lutheran church was built between 1825 and 1827. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of Lutherans in the city, the church had to be rebuilt from 1895. After decades of abandonment after World War II, the church was handed over to the German Evangelical Lutheran Church and restoration work began.

The Lutheran church of Siófok was built in the 1980s in an organic style according to the plans of Imre Makovecz. Much of the wood needed for the construction of the church was sent from Oulu, Siófok's twin town, so the public space around the church was named Oulu Park. One of the seven towers of the Hungarian pavilion at the World Exhibition in Seville in 1992 served as a model for the tower of this church.
