While the exact date of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown, it is marked on old maps of the area and its oldest tombstone dates to the mid 19th century. As such, it can be assumed that was the era in which it was constructed. Its wall was installed by ESJF in October 2015.

The church in Boian was erected around the year 1400, but it is difficult to determine which parts of the initial construction have been preserved to this day. Nevertheless, it is known that around 1500 the religious edifice was fortified, a defence level being built above the chancel. The fortification wall was designed to include a parapet walk, partly built on two levels and strengthened by a gate tower. The latter also served as a bell tower having its entrance protected by a portcullis (sliding wooden lattice reinforced with iron). Another detail that is worth mentioning is the decoration of the cornice with angled bricks, a method often used for the Orthodox churches in Moldavia and Muntenia regions. Furthermore, on both gate tower and northern entrance of the church one can find the coat of arms of the Moldavian prince Stephan the Great, to whose fief Boian briefly belonged.

The Bokn church is a long church dating from 1847. It was built according to the model of the old church in Nærbø, based on Hans Ditlev Franciscus von Linstow's type drawings.

The Bold Church is a long wooden church dating from 1894. It is the third known church in the village. The first was a stave church which was probably built as a house chapel in the 13th century.

Most of the present building of the Bologna Cathedral dates back to the 17th century, with some other parts dating back to the end of the 16th century. A cathedral already existed on the site in 1028, on the present Via Indipendenza. It was accompanied by a pre-Romanesque campanile with a circular base. This church was destroyed by fire in 1141. It was rebuilt in 1184 and dedicated to Pope Lucius III. Work on the present building began in 1605. At the request of Pope Benedict XIV, a new façade was added between 1743 and 1747 according to the plans of the architect Alfonso Torreggiani.
