Karup Church is a long church in late Gothic style, probably dating from the second half of the 15th century. In the Middle Ages, Karup was a place of pilgrimage famous for its sacred spring, where pilgrims and the sick flocked in large numbers, making rich donations to the church. A hospital was also attached to the church. After the Reformation, the pilgrimage ceased and thus the economic basis for the maintenance of the church also disappeared. The church fell into ruins and in 1744 it was bought by a lord. Today, only the main part of the main nave has been preserved.

The Karup church began to be built in the second half of the 12th century. It is built in Romanesque style in stone blocks and consists of a choir, nave and porch. The church, without a tower, has retained most of its original appearance.

Karuse Church is a fortified church from the 13th century. In the 16th century, a tower was built next to the church. The chancel built by Christian Ackermann dates from 1697. The oldest gravestones in the church cemetery date back to the middle of the 13th century.

Because of its height, Katarina Church is a church that occupies an important place in the Stockholm cityscape. Built for the first time in 1695, it has since suffered two fires in 1723 and in 1990 (which it did not recover until 1995). The building is now protected by the Cultural Environment Act.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to epigraphic data, it already existed in the 1870s. First, it appears on Russian topographic maps of the 1880s. The cemetery was still operating in the first half of the 20th century.

St. Katharinen Church is a Protestant church in Frankfurt am Main. The Baroque building was built from 1678 to 1681 and rebuilt between 1950 and 1954 after being destroyed during the Second World War.

The original church of Saint Sebastian was constructed in 1016, with various additions thereafter. The church's modern form took place after renovations in 1953 and 1959. It sustained damage during a fire in the 14th and 15th centuries, and during the thirty-years war.

Katip Sinan Mosque, also known as Katip Çelebi, is a late 16th-century mosque in Prizren.

On January 11, 1903, Katrineholm's church was inaugurated. The church square gets its mark from the interaction between the church building and the parish home. The latter was built in 1957 and features a well-preserved exterior and interior typical of the 1950s. The location of the church is unusual. The main entrance is to the south, and the altar faces north. (The rule is west-east direction.) The reason for this is that the church would have a large gate to the railway and society.

Kaunas Cathedral was founded by Vytautas the Great in the 15th century. In 1650, when the main works were completed and the massive tower was built, it became the largest Gothic building in Lithuania. The building was damaged by fires in 1732 and 1800. In 1895, Pope Leo XIII gave the former parish church the title of a cathedral. At the same time, the church was restored with neo-Gothic elements.
