Well-maintained "redome" with small tower.

Second Dutch Reformed Church in South Rotterdam (after the Wilhelmina Church). Architecturally and urbanistically very important, beautiful interbellum church with a defining tower, still in full use as a church. The Maranatha Church congregation still calls itself the "Reformed Church" and is of the Reformed Bond signature. Since the demolition wave of the 1970s, the tower of the Maranatha Church has been the highest church tower in South Rotterdam.

The Maranathakerk

The Märcani Mosque, one of the largest mosques in Russia, was one of the symbols of the tolerance granted by Empress Catherine II (1762 - 1996) to non-Christian Russian communities at the end of the 18th century. This mosque remains the historical centre of Tatar-Muslim spirituality. The mosque was built in 1766-1770 and is the first stone mosque built in Kazan after it was taken by Ivan Terrible in 1552. The building was constructed in the tradition of medieval Tatar architecture with a minaret on the roof and forms in the provincial baroque style. In the decoration of the facades and interiors, the architectural decoration of the Petrine Baroque is combined with the decorative motifs of Tatar decorative art.

The monastery was founded on a dependency of the Moscow Patriarchate. In 1988, the Highman Barsanuphe Ferrier gave new life to the village of La Traverse, which had been abandoned for several decades.

Beautiful reconstruction church with roof turret. Built as Dutch Reformed Church. From 1975 to 1995 in use as a church building of the Reformed Bond modality of the Reformed Church. Since 1995 the "Bonders" have used the Bethlehem Church. After a renovation, the Marcus Church was put into use in 1996 as the central church of the SOW Wijkgemeente Moerwijk-Morgenstond, since 2004 a Protestant Church.
