The Agios Mamas church of Mandres dates back to the 19th century and is located in the northern edge of the original settlement area. After 1974, the church was converted into a mosque and used until a new mosque was built in the village (ca. 2009-2010). After that, the building was abandoned and left to its own devices.

The Panagia Galaktini chapel of Mandres is located about a kilometre east of the village in a small forest that was exposed to a major fire before the survey took place. Since the church has been in ruins for a long time, the fire could not cause any significant damage here. The roof has been collapsed for a long time and the doors and windows are missing.

The Panagia of Tochni Monasteri Church is located about 3 kilometres east of the village on the mountain. The church dates from the 12th century and is well preserved. The surrounding monastery with its buildings has been partially renovated, but is now falling into disrepair again.

The mosque is located in the western part of the old village centre. Not much is known about the history of the mosque. Bağişkan assumes that the building was erected at the beginning of the 20th century. Since the cadastral plans drawn up in the 1920s do not yet include the mosque, it can be assumed that it was built somewhat later.

Manfredonia Cathedral was built between 1270 and 1274. The first building was destroyed by the Turks in 1620 and was only rebuilt in 1700, using the ruins of the old Angevin church. Bishop Della Cueva modified the main entrance, moving it to the opposite end of the church. The canons' stalls and the high altar were also built.

Mangen chapel is a long church from 1903. The chapel was designed by engineer Haneborg and built by builder Martin Johnsen, son of Gulbrand Johnsen.

The church of Manger is a long church from 1891. The present church is the fourth church in the village. Previously there was a stave church probably built in the 12th century, a wooden church from the early 17th century and a stone church from 1743. The wooden church burned down, while the other two churches were demolished.

Manglerud church is a working church from 1963. The church has a long plan and was designed by Carl Corwin.

Mantua Cathedral was built over a long period from the 14th century to 1761. Of early Christian origin, the church was originally Romanesque in style as can be seen from the bell tower. The construction of the present temple ended with the realization of the façade, entirely in marble, between 1756 and 1761 by the engineer Nicolò Baschiera of the Austrian army.
