The French cathedral was built in the years 1780-1785 by Carl von Gontard in the Baroque style. The building was constructed at the instigation of Frederick II (1740-1772), who also ordered the construction of the German Cathedral (opposite the French Cathedral) as part of an extensive redevelopment project of the Gendarmenmarkt. Burned down during the Second World War, the French Cathedral was rebuilt in 1978-1983, true to the original exterior and modern interior. Since then, it has housed the Huguenot Museum.

The Fresvik church is a long church from 1881, erected by the builder A.A. Åse according to the plans of the architect Henrik Nissen. At the place where the church is located, there used to be a 12th-century stave church which was demolished to make way for the new church.

Friburg Cathedral, in radiant Gothic style, was built between 1283 and 1490 and was founded as a parish church dedicated to St. Nicholas. It became a collegiate church at the beginning of the 16th century and did not become a cathedral until 1924. The tower of the church, an emblematic monument of the city, was built from 1370 to 1490.

Fridalen church is a brick church completed in 1985. The architects of the church are J.L.Andersen and K.H.Irgens.

The Fridolinsmünster was founded as a collegiate church of the Säckingen women's convent. The convent church was built in Romanesque style, then rebuilt in Gothic style after a fire in the 14th century and renovated in the 17th and 18th centuries with elements of Baroque style. Today it is the main church of the Catholic community of Bad Säckingen.

The Friedenskirche in Bochum, Germany, originally an evangelical church, was transformed into the "Q1 - Eins im Quartier" neighborhood center in 2013-2015 due to declining congregation and growing multicultural population.

Construction of the Friedenskirche in Monheim-Baumberg began in 1968 and was finished in 1974. Worship service already started in 1971. The impressive building complex was planned by the swiss architect and sculptor Walter Maria Förderer. Förderer designed the Friedenskirche as a walk-in sculpture made from concrete: clearly sacred on the outside, pragmatically flexible on the inside.

The Friedenskirche was built between 1743 and 1751 at the request of Prince Wilhelm Heinrich for the newly admitted reformed community of Saarbrücken. The prince's mother, who died in 1738, had belonged to the Reformed Confession. After being secularised for almost a century, the Old Catholic Church acquired the building in 1892. Largely destroyed in an air raid during the Second World War, the church was rebuilt from 1961 to 1966 and the church was consecrated in 1967. Until 2014, the new church was used simultaneously by the Old Catholics and the Russian Orthodox community. On one narrow side of the great hall was the altar of the Old-Catholic community, on the opposite side the iconostasis of the Russian Orthodox community.

The Friedhofskapelle, built between 1908 and 1911, is a wooden chapel inspired by Norwegian stave churches. The wooden interior, the Art Nouveau stained glass windows and the organ are preserved in their original state. The chapel is part of the southwestern cemetery of Stahnsdorf, the tenth largest cemetery in the world and a listed site.

The Friedrichswerder Church is a simultaneous church, which until 1872 hosted the French Lutheran-Evangelical and Reformed services and then the United Church services until the Second World War. Today it is home to the Schinkel-Museum, one of Berlin's state museums. The church was built between 1824 and 1830 by Schinkel. It was the first neo-Gothic church to be built in Berlin.
