Since December 2000, the parish of Sint-Martinus has had its own church building, De Wingerd. Catholics and Protestants jointly own this special church building and use it together. In the Huet district, there has been a close bond with the PKN branch in Doetinchem for years: the Protestant Community of Doetinchem (PGD). In 2011, the parish presented a new policy plan for the period up to approximately 2016. Changes have been noticeable for a long time and are now also noticeable in the range of services. On 15 June 2012, the archbishop determined that the church centre De Wingerd would be withdrawn from Roman Catholic worship as of 1 January 2013. The Church Centre De Wingerd is also used by other churches, including the Protestant Community of Doetinchem. Services are held regularly and a working group organises ecumenical theme services every month.

The Romanesque three-aisles basilica originated from the 13th century and was re-shaped through fortification systems in 1500. On the original tower-less church a strong dungeon with defence level was built on the western side and the square chancel was strengthened with walls in such a manner, that it was possible to build another defensive tower there. At the same time, the side aisles were heightened and the building became a hall church. The central nave and the aisles were covered with fine lierne ribbed vaults. In the course of this work the rectangular precincts wall with four corner towers were also built, possibly as a replacement for an older system. The fortified buildings erected in the 16th and 17th century were used in part as accommodation. The ensemble was completed in 1914 by the construction of the community hall on the southern side. The pre-reformation crucifix above the triumphal arch was created in 1425.

This former Jewish cemetery preserves remains of 40 tombstones from between 1896 and 1940. The site was fenced by ESJF in June 2017.

The monastery Dečani is a Serbian Orthodox monastery whose church, a cathedral, is the largest medieval church in the Balkans and preserves an important ensemble of Byzantine frescoes. The monastery was founded by King Stefan Dečanski in 1327. Upon his death in 1331, the king was buried there; thus, Dečani became a popular place of pilgrimage. The cathedral preserves a collection of about 1,000 frescoes, representing the major themes of the New Testament, as well as portraits of the Serbian royal family. In 2004, the Visoki Monastery Dečani was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and in 2006 it was placed on the list of World Heritage in Danger.
