This church dates from the 13th century. The walls and the Romanesque outer door are still original pieces of the first church building. During the 15th century, a porch was added, the choir was extended, the windows were enlarged and the roof was raised. The separate bell tower burned down in 1773 after which the bells were attached to the church itself. In the middle of the 19th century, the church had become too small to house the parish. The village wanted to use the stones of the old church to built a new and larger building. Luckily, magistrate Carl Martin Schönmeyer could prevent this. The church was left untouched, but abandoned. Almost a century later, in 1937, the historian Gustaf Näsström asked for donations to restore the church. To mark the 100th anniversary of the church in 1950, it was decided to protect the church from demolition forever. In 1978 there was a thorough renovation.

Ytterøy Church is a wooden church that was built in a long church style in 1890 by the architect K. Guttormsen.

Also known as the Bazaar Mosque because of its near location to the town's market, the building is cube-shaped and has a hipped roof. The stones to build the mosque were probably brought from the medieval fortress of Ovech, and the old monastery near the village of Ravna.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest gravestone relates to the mid-19th century, so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. It was not marked on old maps. The cemetery was fenced by ESJF in September 2017.

Zadar Cathedral is a Romanesque building with three naves, it is the largest church in Dalmatia. It was built twice, in the 9th and 11th centuries on the site of an early Christian basilica, and in the 12th and 13th centuries. The late Romanesque façade with arcades with columns in the upper part was completed in 1324.

Zagreb Cathedral was first built in the 11th century in 1093. But this original building was destroyed during the Tartar and Mongolian invasions in 1242. The current neo-Gothic building dates back to 1880 when the cathedral was rebuilt after being severely damaged by a violent earthquake.

This mosque was completed in 1987 in the Trstik housing complex in order to accomodate the large amount of Muslims living there. The mosque is built in order to follow modern construction trends of the time rather than following traditional Arabesque architecture. The building contains a 51m high minaret, a religious school, a library, and other features.

The Cathedral Church in Zajecar was built in 1834 by the will of Miloš Obrenović I of Serbia, who established for the occasion the Diocese of Timok with the built church as its seat. Separate from the church, right next to it, a high bell tower was built. It has five bells, cast in Kragujevac in 1899.

The cemetery has 40 well-preserved tombstones, in their original places and with visible inscriptions and images. A fence was erected by ESJF in July 2016 to protect it.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown, but the earliest records of a Jewish presence in Zakynthos date back to the late 15th century.
