The church of Notre-Dame-d'Auteuil replaces a first church from the 10th century, rebuilt in the 14th century, then enlarged in the 15th and 17th centuries. Having become too small for the growing population, the church was rebuilt between 1877 and 1892, as Auteuil, originally a hamlet with its own parish, was attached to Paris in 1860. The church was built in the Romanesque-Byzantine style by the workshop of the diocesan architect Joseph Auguste Émile Vaudremer.

Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Passy was built by the Pères de la Miséricorde, a missionary order for the rechristianisation of cities, at the end of the 19th century. Following the law of 1901, the Fathers were expelled and the church was closed until 1907 when it was reopened as an annexe chapel of the church of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-de-Passy. In 1914, the church became a parish church and in 1928, the church took the name of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption.

The church of St. James was built in 1875 by the architect Delefortrie. This building replaces the former church of Saint-Jacques, built in the 14th century in the heart of the suburb of the same name, sold as a National Property during the Revolution and converted into housing.

The historic church of the Holy Cross in Diksmuide has been desacralised since 2018. It has been repurposed to serve as a resting place with 120 niches to place urns in. In 2023 works began to open the church tower to the public. This one will offer a 360-degree panoramic view of Lampernisse

On top of the characteristic circular village vault is the originally late Roman Andreas church. The current building was rebuilt in 1676 after the old church was largely destroyed by fire a few years earlier.

A first church was built in 1886, then another one in 1911, the first one being too small, and in 1946 it was decided to rebuild everything that had been demolished in 1944. Materials are scarce and work is slow. The rebuilt church was consecrated on June 7, 1954. As in 1911, the church turns out to be too small. An annex was therefore built as an extension of the right transept, between March 1, 1957 and June 1, 1958.

The Church of Sainte Joanne d'Arc at Le Touquet-Paris-Plage is the first church in France to be dedicated to Saint Joan of Arc, at the request of the British Catholics.

The chapel was built in 1835, and in 1990 it was thoroughly renovated by the faithful of Ruda and Samobor. Immediately after the Second World War, a statue of St. Nicholas, the chapel was neglected, but still no one dared to demolish it. During the renovation, a new statue was made in the Pleterje Carthusian Monastery in Slovenia.

The building, completed in 1630, underwent several phases of destruction, leading to modifications. The first one in 1694, when it was burnt down by the English. The second came with the bombings of 1944, which led to a major destruction of the building. Auguste Perret, architect, is in charge of the restoration of the church, completed in 1992.

In the early Middle Ages, a hillfort was divided into two parts, which were separated by a road leading to the Danube. Its area was fortified on three sides, on the south side there was probably no fortification, probably due to the unusually vertical bank 3-4 m high, which was a natural protection.
