The present church was built in 1748 and rebuilt in 1952 after the Battle of the Ardennes in 1944-45. Originally, it was the convent church of the convent of Augustinian nuns, a monastery for the daughters of the noble families of the Ardennes.

The Serbian Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas was completed in 1790. It was designed by the local architect Ignazio Hencke. The construction was funded by Serbians who had fled the Ottoman Empire and had settled in Flume (which is now Rijeka).

The Church of Saint Paraskevi is a medieval Orthodox church in the old town of Nessebar.

The Church of Saint Paul was built between 1892 and 1897 by the Alsatian architect Louis Muller (1842-1898). It is currently listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments. Built in a neo-Gothic style, the building stands on a strategic location, located in the center of the new district which developed at the beginning of the century during the German era.

The archives of this church mention a parish church from 1128, built on an old Carolingian foundation and property of the Marmoutier convent. Part of the old Church collapsed on July 22, 1787 during an earthquake. It was therefore completely demolished in 1807, and rebuilt immediately. The new Church, without any particular style, was consecrated in 1809.

This church has an octagonal central plan, typical of Ottonian architecture, which draws its inspiration from Byzantine and Paleochretian architecture. Besides this remarkable characteristic, the church benefits from an important supporter since it was founded by Rodolphe d'Altenbourg, one of the founders of the house of Habsburg.

Only the chancel of the Church of Saint Peter of Abragão maintains the Romanesque style. In 1105 the existence of "Sancto Petro de Auregam" was already documented. The 13th century Church is the result of an initiative by Princess Mafalda, daughter of King Sancho I and granddaughter of King Afonso Henriques. The exterior resembles the Romanesque design of the Monastery of Paço de Sousa due to its Visigoth and Mozarabe-influenced frieze [6th-8th centuries]. Inside, the elements that comprise the cross arch bear resemblance to the Romanesque art of the Baixo Tâmega, namely with the main portal of the Monastery of Travanca in Amarante. Archaeological findings in 2006 concluded that the main portal of Abragão, no longer in existence, would have been very similar to the one in the Church of Saint Genesius of Boehle. The main façade and nave underwent reconstruction works in the second half of the 17th century. From the same period is the Mannerist altarpiece with paintings of Saint Andrew, Saint Mary Magdalene, Saint James and Saint Martha.

The church of Saint Peter is a Romanesque church first mentioned in 1020. In the 14th century, a Gothic reconstruction was carried out. The façade was built in 1578, with a large porthole that gives light to the entire nave. During the Spanish Civil War, the church suffered considerable destruction and had to be rebuilt between 1941 and 1948. It was in this church that Salvador Dalí was baptised and received his First Communion, and where his funeral took place.

This Romanesque church was built in the 11th and 12th centuries, then altered in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was the subject of a double Auvergne and Berrichone influence. It also has some important furniture: crossroads cross from the end of the 14th century, Sainte-Barbe in stone from the 15th century, Pieta in stone from the 15th century, and a magnificent Saint Madeleine from the end of the 15th century.

The church is located in the French department of Aveyron, in the town of Nant. The town of Nant is located at the confluence of two rivers, the Dourbie and the Durzon, between Grands Causses and CÈvennes. Gallia Christiana reports the legend making the monastery of Saint-Pierre was a creation of Saint Amand, Bishop of Maastricht, in the kingdom of Austrasia, around 669. The monastery would have been destroyed a century later by the Saracens. The first text quoting the Church of Saint-Pierre dates from February 11, 926. Bernard, viscount of Rouergue, and his wife, Udalgarde, give the abbey of Vabres all the goods they have in Nant, including a statue of Saint Peter, to build a monastery dedicated to Saint Peter of Rome. The monastery of Nant received numerous donations from the counts of Toulouse and Rouergue during the 11th century. In 961, Raymond I, count of Rouergue, bequeathed property to the priory. The Bishop of Lodêve, Fulcrand, donated his share in the family chateau of Roquefeuil in 988. In the 11th century, the Saint-Victor abbey in Marseille led a policy of expansion in the southern Rourgue. In 1082, ÈvÍque de Rodez submited the Saint-Amans de Rodez abbey and the Vabres abbey, with their outbuildings, to Saint-Victor abbey.
