Dionysiou Monastery is one of the 20 self-governing Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Mount Athos. It is ranked fifth in the Athonite, the hierarchical order of the monasteries on the Athos Peninsula.

The single-nave church has a pseudo-transept in the middle and a square tower on the east side, which is placed centrally against the front facade. The building, made of light brown, sanded bricks, is covered by a composite saddle roof of black glazed Dutch tiles; the tower by a saddle roof of black glazed Dutch tiles between gables, which are crowned by pirons. All tower facades are decorated with a large recessed field, which is closed off at the top by a dentil moulding. On the east side a wooden door with above it a brick square moulding in which the facade stone is placed. Above this a vertical window with stained glass and, below the two sound holes, the clockwork, the dials of which consist of ceramic tableaux. In the west facade is the contemporary (1927) mechanical ceramic clockwork with two sound holes above it and in the facades on the north and south sides three vertical windows with stained glass, the clockwork and the two sound holes. All sound holes are equipped with six sound boards. Above the clockwork is the clock. In the (eastern) front facade of the church, two vertical windows with stained glass are placed on either side of the tower.

At first sight a remarkable church. The tower is built in on three sides and the south wall is very low, with a kind of farm windows. The tower was built in the 12th century near a Romanesque (also tuff stone) nave and had a chapel on the upper floor that opened onto the nave. Due to lack of space, they started working on it vigorously in the 15th century. A new, now Gothic choir was added, and side aisles were added under the same roof as the central nave, so resting on very low side walls. This is how the tower was built in. The Romanesque tower vault was demolished, creating a high portal that opened onto the side aisles and that received its light from a Gothic window in the west wall. Apostle figures, a Christopher figure and remains of saint figures were painted in the choir. This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church is often called Jacobi-church, after apostle James the Greater. Entries in the oldest writings, however, point to patronage by Dionysius.

Dirdal church is a wooden church built in 1903. The architect of the church is Ole Knutson Moluf.

Divi Blasii Church (Church of St. Blasius) is the main church (Hauptkirche) in Muhlhausen's Unterstadt district. It was built in the 13th and 14th centuries by the German Order (Deutscher Orden) and was the first church in Gothic style in central Germany.

The Sanctuary of Divine Mercy was created in 1999 on an old church of the nineteenth century. It is known to be a sanctuary of Faustyna Kowalska (1905-1938) who had several visions of Jesus.

The Sanctuary of Divine Mercy is a Roman Catholic temple dedicated to the devotion of the Divine Mercy. It was between 1999 and 2002 as part of historic complex of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. It receives millions of pilgrims every year.

The monastery was raided by the Ottomans and abandoned in the 17th century. During the 18th century, it operated as a branch of the neighbouring Kuveždin monastery. The monastery church was reconstructed during this century. It is one of the 16 surviving Orthodox monasteries built between the 15th and 18th centuries on the Fruška Gora mountain in Serbia (also known as the Serbian Mount Athos).

The Dizdar Mosque, or Women's Mosque, was built by Sulejman-beg Kulenović in 1812-13. It belongs to the type of single-storey central mosques without a minaret, with a masonry dome hidden by a tin roof, which is not a common case in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was renovated in 2002 after decades of dilapidation.
