Silkeborg, DK
After many discussions about other locations, the city council decided on 18 October 1944 that a church should be built on "Mariehoj". The year 1944, however, tells us that there was war in the country, therefore nothing happens until 1946, when the foundation stone is laid on July 31 with the participation of the church minister, bishop, county governor and a hundredth congregation.
Gelnhausen, DE
The Marienkirche was erected in the first half of the 13th century. It is a building of Romanesque-Gothic transition, as the building simultaneously combines late Romanesque and early Gothic building forms. Between 1876 and 1879, a major exterior and interior renovation took place. In 1934, during the renovation work, the few frescoes in the choir were rediscovered and brought to light, which had not been destroyed during the renovation in the 19th century.
Lübeck, DE
The Marienkirche (officially St. Marien zu Lübeck) was built from 1277 to 1351. The building was a symbol of the economic and political power of this city then at the head of the powerful Hanseatic League. As part of the old town of Lübeck, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Mary is widely considered as the "mother church of Gothic brick".

During the Thirty Years' War, the monastery and the church were badly damaged and had to be rebuilt from 1661 onwards. From 1965 to 2014, Passionists lived there and pastored the surrounding parishes.
Mariestad, SE
Mariestad Cathedral, built between 1593 and 1619, is not the main church in the diocese of Skara (that title is held by Skara Cathedral). The plan is that of a late neo-Gothic church, with crossed arms, lancet windows, pointed columns and internal white cross vaults. The chancel has a three-sided end and has been copied extensively in the diocese. The unadorned natural stone facades and the spire were only added in 1905 during the restoration by Folke Zettervall.
