Muderiz Ali Effendi Mosque is a 16th-century Islamic place of worship and monument in Prizren.

The church of Muhu was built in the early Gothic style, probably in the 13th century. The present church owes much to a reconstruction in 1738 after it was destroyed during the Great Northern War. Given the church's few narrow windows and other architectural features, it is assumed that the church was built for defence purposes.

The old Muiderkerk, built in 1892 , partly burned down in 1989 , but the striking tower was spared. The current Muiderkerk was built against the old tower and is part of a building complex from 1997 that was designed by architect Van Hoogevest.

Christ the King Cathedral in Mullingar, was designed from 1920 onwards, to replace the Immaculate Conception Cathedral (1836 - 1936). William Byrne & Sons of Dublin designed the building as a renaissance style basilica. Construction took place from 1933 to 1936.

St. Paul's Cathedral was built between 1225 and 1264, a period of transition in the history of architecture between Romanesque and Gothic art. The cathedral was largely destroyed during the Second World War. The astronomical clock, as well as the series of apostles, epitaphs, altars and choir chapels miraculously escaped destruction. After the war, the cathedral was rebuilt identically.

The Münster was first built in 1064 as the Romanesque basilica of the Kloster Allerheiligen, then owned by the Benedictines. After centuries of economic and political decline, Michael Eggendorfer, the last abbot of the monastery, initiated the last renovations in 1521-22. During the Swiss Reformation, the abbey was abolished and the Münster became the second main church in the town in 1524.

St John's Cathedral was built between 1250 and 1274 by the Order of St John as a pillared basilica in early Gothic style. Before that, a chapel dedicated to St Kilian stood on the site. In 1554, the Teutonic Order acquired the entire property of the Knights of St John and carried out reconstruction work. The former flat ceiling of the nave of St. John's Church was replaced by a cross-ribbed vault; the vaults were decorated with the Renaissance painting that is still preserved today. The bell tower was built in several stages. The four lowest floors date from the time of construction. In 1445, the tower was raised by two floors. From 1594 to 1618, the characteristic tower gallery and the hood-shaped tower bulb were built over the octagon.

This church is known in part to mainly for the extensive restoration and partial reconstruction in the 19th century by architect Pierre Cuypers (1827 - 1921). Damaged by war in 1945, restored.

This is a 13th-century church dedicated to Our Lady. The church is one of the most important examples of Late Romanesque architecture in The Netherlands. Its remarkable front towers are 55 meters high. The church is the only surviving part of an abbey, which was demolished in 1924. The church was renovated between 1863 and 1890. During this renovation, the smaller baroque bell tower was removed, the two front towers were added, and the originally octagonal eastern towers were replaced by square ones. The building was damaged by an earthquake in 1992. The two eastern towers were destroyed and rebuilt shortly after.
