The Church of Mare de Déu del Roser is the only survivor of the Convent of Sant Francesc de Tortosa, founded in the 13th century. It was originally located on the opposite bank of the river Ebro. Between 1910 and 1914 it was rebuilt on the other side of the river and remodelled after the Spanish Civil War. It is currently the parish church of Roser and conserves the façade of the old Baroque building.

This impressive Neo-Gothic abbey was founded in 1872 by Benedictine monks. The church achieves its most sublime spiritual dimensions during the four high points of the day when the monks come together to pray in the church or crypt: matins, mass, vespers and the evening service. Everyone is welcome to join. The abbey is still home to a community of monks. Visitors can take a guided tour of the Abbey by booking in advance.

The Margrethausen Monastery is a former Franciscan monastery founded in 1338 by the local lord Conrad von Tierberg. During the Thirty Years' War, the village and the monastery church were largely destroyed. The monastery church was rebuilt as early as 1707 and the consecration of the new monastery building took place in 1723, so that monastic life could continue. The monastery was dissolved in 1811 and the monastery buildings were then used as a school, teachers' residence and for local administration. Of the four former wings of the monastery, only the east wing, which directly adjoins the parish church, remains today.
