The church of Majorstuen is a long church dating from 1926. It was designed by the architects August Nielsen and Harald Sund. The "Cappella Johannea" is decorated with frescoes with motifs from the Revelation of John, created by the artist Per Vigeland in 1932.

Makarska Cathedral is the second cathedral church of the Split-Makarska archdiocese. It was built in the Baroque style from 1700 to 1756. The cathedral was considerably damaged in the great earthquake of 1962, and some changes were made during the restoration of the interior of the church.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. However, given there are preserved tombstones dated to the late 19th century, it can be inferred the cemetery was already in use during that era. The cemetery could not be found on old maps of the region.

The Agia Thekla Monastery Church is located about 2 km northwest of the village (near the road to Kouklia). This former monastery church now stands alone in the fields. It is in a ruinous state. The entire roof is missing. Supporting arches are damaged or missing. The north wall has also partially collapsed.

The second parish church with the ekklesionym Agios Efstathios is located on the northern edge of the original settlement structure. The date of construction of this small church is unknown. According to Kassinis, weddings and baptisms usually took place here. After 1974, the church seems to have been converted into a mosque. The south entrance has been bricked up and older pictures show an installed loudspeaker system. With the completion of a new mosque in the village (ca. 2018), the building seems to have been abandoned.

The small Agios Georgios chapel is located about 2 km southwest of the village in the fields. The building is in a ruinous state. The roof is completely missing and the doors to the building are also missing. Today, the chapel is used as a storage area for water pipes.

Two parish churches were identified for Makrasyka. The Panagia church is located north of the original settlement structure. According to Gunnis, the church of Panagia was built in the 16th century.

The Jewish cemetery in Mala Dobron’ already existed in 1855, as evident from the inscription on the oldest tombstone. It was in use until WWII. There is one post-war burial dating from 1973.

The foundation of the Mala Remeta monastery is traditionally attributed to the Serbian King Dragutin Nemanjić in the 13th century, although the oldest sources mentioning its existence date back to the 16th century. It is one of the 16 surviving Orthodox monasteries built between the 15th and 18th centuries on the Fruška Gora mountain in Serbia (also known as the Serbian Mount Athos).

It is not known when the Jewish cemetery in Vysoká pri Morave was established. The date of the last burial in the cemetery is also unknown. For 70 years, the cemetery was largely abandoned. Undoubtedly, the main reason was that none of the Jews from the village who were deported to concentration camps survived. All the tombstones were lost during the socialist era.
