St. John the Baptist Cathedral is a fine example of Baroque in the Lublin region. It was founded by Jesuits in the 16th century, completed in 1625. After the dissolution of the order in 1773, the church slowly fell into ruin. In 1797, the temple served as warehouse for grain. After being named seat of the diocese of Lublin in 1805, the cathedral was restored several times during the nineteenth century (1821, 1878).
The Church of St. Adalbert is a late Renaissance brick church built in 1610-1635. Renovated in 1756 and converted into a warehouse in 1835, it was restored in 1923-1930 and 1970-1974.
St. Joseph's Church was founded in the 17th century by Carmelites. In 1864, after the uprising of January, and the dissolution of the Order which followed, the building served as a garrison. In 1919, the church again passed into the hands of the Carmelites.
The Yeshivat Hokhmei Lublin is an Ashkenazi synagogue built between 1928 and 1930 by the architect Agenor Smoluchowski. This Neo-Classical and Art Deco brick building still serves as a synagogue.
