Irsina Cathedral is said to have been rebuilt after a fire in the Romanesque style in 988; it was again rebuilt and enlarged after a sack in 1133. The church was substantially modified in the Baroque style in the 18th century and consecrated in 1802. Only the bell tower, in addition to the Romanesque crypt, has retained its original appearance, Romanesque in the lower part and Gothic in the upper part, with mullioned windows and hanging arches. A major restoration, which lasted over a year, was completed in early 2016.

Founded in the 13th century, the Isenhagen Monastery was built at its present location from 1345 to 1350. Initially a Cistercian monastery, it became Protestant with the introduction of the Reformation in 1540. This Gothic brick building underwent a change at the beginning of the 18th century when the south and west wings of the monastery were demolished and from 1723 to 1726 a reconstruction in Baroque half-timbered style was carried out.

Isernia Cathedral was built on the remains of an ancient Italian pagan temple dating back to the 2nd century BC. Its present appearance is the result of numerous interventions carried out either after the numerous earthquakes or as a result of projects to restructure the building. Its present appearance is the result of the neoclassical restoration carried out on the orders of Bishop Gennaro Saladino in the second half of the 19th century.
