The building is located in the western part of the village.

The New Synagogue was constructed in 1750/52 on the location of an earlier but much smaller synagogue, dating back to 1730, and three private homes. The design of the New Synagogue has been attributed to G. F. Maybaum and is designed in a sense similar to the Grote Synagoge but is somewhat larger and is adorned with a large dome. The square-shaped layout of the building is divided into three aisles, with vaulted ceilings and four large columns. The galleries are located alongside the side walls of the building, thereby emphasizing the axis of the Torah Ark. The square shape of the building, on the other hand, is accentuated by the light entering from the centrally located dome on top of the hipped roof. The front façade does not directly correspond with the layout of the building as the main entrance could not be placed in the same axis as the Torah Ark. The entrance itself contains several classical elements such as the cornice and Ionic pillars. The inscription above the entrance refers to Psalm 14:7, Psalm 118:20 and shows the Hebrew date [5]513 (or, 1753 CE). The façade of the upper floor contains large rounded arch windows while smaller windows are located on the main floor. The interior was heavily damaged during the Second World War after which the furniture including the bimah, Torah ark, menorahs, chandeliers went missing. The interior has now been transformed to a museum space as part of the Jewish Historical Museum.

The new cathedral was erected between 1604 and 1825 on the site of the early Christian basilica of San Pietro de Dom (5th-6th century). The old cathedral, which was in an advanced state of deterioration, had to be replaced by a new one, more suited to the new architectural requirements dictated by the Counter-Reformation and more in line with the architecture of the time. Three phases of construction can be identified for the new cathedral: the first (1604 to 1611) was directed by the architect Giovanni Battista Lantana, who, seeing his initial project fundamentally revised, eventually left the building site. The second phase (1611 - 1630) was directed by Lorenzo Binago but was halted by the Brescia plague epidemic, which undermined the city for several decades. The third phase (1695 - 1825) is that of Antonio Biasio, who will hand over the task to his son in 1758 and will not be completed until the next century when the dome of the church is finally built.

This church was originally built by the Jesuits in the 16th century next to the famous University of Coimbra. In the 18th century, when the Jesuits were banned from Portugal, the Bishop's seat of Coimbra was moved to this larger cathedral from the "Old Cathedral of Coimbra". This baroque style church was seen as an inspiration for many church styles in Colonial Brazil, particularly the Jesuit church in Salvador, Brazil.

The New Cathedral of Lleida was built between 1761 and 1781 after the old cathedral was requisitioned to serve as a military stronghold during the War of Succession (1701-1715). Carlos III of Spain (1716-1788) granted permission and part of the financing for the construction of the new cathedral, on condition that the city abandoned its intentions to recover the Seu Vella as the seat of the bishop. The new cathedral is in Baroque style, with the influence of French academic classicism.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin, popularly called “New Cathedral”, is one of the two cathedrals of the city of Salamanca. It was built between the 16th and 18th centuries, mixing late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. It is the second largest cathedral in Spain in dimensions.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of Linz, also known as Mariendom or the "New Cathedral", was built between 1862 and 1935. It is a neo-Gothic building inspired by the cathedral Utrecht.

New Church, completed in 1872, is a long church with a tower to the west, built of laminated wood, probably from drawings by J. W. Nordan. It has simple details, characterized by the Swiss style. The crown of the tower has a relatively unusual design with broken corners in the shape of an almost baroque dome.

When William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, founded New College at the end of the 14th century, he placed the service of God at the heart of college life. The chapel was made the most inspiring of the college buildings and was provided with a permanent choir to support and enliven its worship.
