The Vennesla church is a long church that would have been completed in October 1829, but it was not consecrated until August of the following year. The church replaced a church from the first half of the 17th century. The tower was enlarged in 1886, and the interior was restored in 1925.

Venosa Cathedral was built between 1470 and 1502 by order of Duke Pirro del Balzo, who was responsible for the urban transformation of Venosa in the last decades of the 15th century. The upper part consists of two octagonal prisms, which form the base of the 10-metre high pyramidal spire. The lower part consists of three superimposed parallelepipeds, the first of which has a quadrangular base.

Vera church was completed in 1899. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1899 by an unknown architect.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest tombstone’s date relates to the early 20th century so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. It was not marked on an old maps. The fence was erected by ESJF in April 2017.

The present building of Vercelli Cathedral was built on the site of a church building dating back to the 4th century. In the second half of the 16th century, Pellegrino Tibaldi, redesigned the building, destroying what was left of the medieval church, including the choir and the presbytery; it was redefined with the construction of chapels on the sides, and new naves, these works were completed in the 18th century.

The Vereide church is a Romanesque whitewashed stone church. The tower with a porch was built in 1879. The choir and sacristy were built in 1931. At that time, the flat ceiling of the nave was also replaced by the barrel-vaulted ceiling. The windows, which were originally no more than half their present height, were enlarged in 1861. Only the baptismal font, rediscovered in 1904, remains from the medieval inventory. The church was extensively restored in 1631 and the interior was coloured in 1962 by the curator Bjørn Kaland.

The Verena Chapel is a baroque chapel erected between 1705 and 1710 on the former steep mountain path to Ägeri. Master Josef Brüell, from Vorarlberg, was responsible for the masonry work. The stonecutters were Michael and Peter Utinger from Zug. The dome was built by the Zug master Paul Sidler.

Simple but monumental hall church behind a mansion. Sometimes nicknamed "Darbi Church", but the members call it "The Local" or "The Meeting".

From 1903 onwards, several brothers met in the winter to study the Bible. In the summer of 1905, these brothers and a sister started studying the Bible together on Sundays in a living room in Katwijk. Early in 1906, they started celebrating the Lord's Supper on Sunday mornings (breaking the bread and drinking the wine). During this time, the brothers and sisters from Katwijk came into contact with brothers and sisters from the surrounding area (including from Bodegraven, Zwammerdam, Leiden and The Hague). Together they came to the conclusion that they wanted to be baptized. They were then baptized in the Uitwatering. Because more brothers and sisters were present at the meetings, the services were moved to the smousenbakkerij (on the corner of Stationsstraat and Voorstraat in Katwijk). In this room, several brothers held Bible readings. The Lord blessed this richly.
