Saint Andrew's church dates from the end of the 12th century and was probably built on the way to Santiago de Compostela. The altar on the western façade was probably built in the 15th century for pilgrims. The church is representative of the Romanesque architecture of Saintonge.

The church of Saint-Antoine-des-Quinze-Vingts was built in 1902-03. The church is built of brick and stone on a basilica plan in the neo-Romanesque style. Some parts and decorations are typical of the Art Nouveau of the Nancy School. The façade is made of brick and stone. It opens with a scalloped semi-circular portal and three lancet windows.

In the year 950, a religious building (a church or a baptistery) dedicated to Saint Austremoine, is dependent on the priory of Issoire. If the church dates mainly from the 12th and 13th centuries, it preserves some elements from the 10th century. Its bell-tower-porch, much more recent, dates from 1818.

Built to watch over the valley, the Church of St Avit was fortified in the 16th century to provide defenders with a stronger position. You can still see the arrow slits and small windows.

St. Boniface Church, built between 1846 and 1885, is one of the first neo-gothic churches in Brussels.

The Saint-Bruno church is a 17th century Catholic church. It is the first baroque church to be built in Bordeaux before Saint Paul's Church and Notre-Dame Church. The church faces the cemetery of the Chartreuse (eighteenth century), the oldest in Bordeaux.

The church of Saint-Christophe-de-Javel was built between 1926 and 1930. A former wooden chapel, built on this site in 1863, was destroyed in 1890, and a temporary chapel was used until 1898 when the church was built in 1926. The present church is the work of the architect Charles-Henri Besnard. The choir's mural, by Henri-Marcel Magne, depicts him surrounded by travellers imploring his protection, and modern means of transport (train, liner, balloon, plane, car), inspired by the district's transport industries, notably the nearby Citroën factories.

The church was built from the end of the 13th century, on top of an old church owned by the Knights Templar. It was in the heart of a former Dominican convent, which has now disappeared. The church has elements of Gothic style, although the sobriety of its exterior appearance recalls Romanesque architecture. The presence of elements of Gothic style is particularly rare in Corsica. It is in fact a French style imported by religious orders. It is also the largest church on the island.

The church of Saint Dominique was built by the architect Georges Gaudibert from 1913, in reinforced concrete with a framework of bricks and agglomerated stones. It was only completed in 1921 because of the First World War. It is in a very particular Romanesque-Byzantine style and is an example of the architectural research carried out in France between 1910 and 1920. It has no bell tower and was originally intended to have a campanile, the base of which is visible from the corner of the two streets.

Saint-Édouard Church, known locally as the Church of the 12th, was built from 1899 to 1901 in the new mining town on the outskirts of Shaft No. 12 of the Lens mines, which began operating in 1894. The church is dedicated to Saint Edward, patron saint of Edouard Bollaert, director of the Lens mining company for forty-two years.
