The church in Tretten is a cruciform church made of slatted wood. The wood from the old church from the 16th century was reused in the new church, which was first tarred, then painted red, and in 1807 it was given the white colour of the time. The high tower that was to stand in the centre of the cross has been placed next to the church since 2000 due to damage.

Treungen Church is a long church consecrated in 1863, the third church in the town, but the two previous churches were higher up the hill to the east of Tveitsund. In the 1960s it was extensively restored, and the sacristy on the south side of the chancel dates from 1863.

The Cathedral of Tricarico was built in the 11th century by order of Robert Guiscard, thanks to the donations of his nephew, Robert de Montescaglioso. In 1383 Louis I of Anjou was crowned King of Naples here. Originally built in the Romanesque style, it has been remodelled and enlarged several times over the centuries, by Bishops Pier Luigi Carafa senior in 1638, Pier Luigi Carafa junior after the plague of 1657 and Antonio del Plato between 1774 and 1777. The work carried out by the latter bishop gave the cathedral its present appearance.

Trier Cathedral is Germany's oldest cathedral, built between 310 and 320 in the time of Constantine the Great (306-337). The first cathedral in the 4th century was destroyed by the Franks, and a further destruction took place in 882 during Viking raids in the Rhineland. The most important building phases that followed were in the 10th century (under Bishop Egbert), in the 13th century (for the interior of the cathedral), from the 14th to the 16th century (for the exterior). Restorations were undertaken in the 19th century, to restore it to its medieval appearance, and after the Second World War. Since 1986, Trier Cathedral has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The synagogue of Trieste, built between 1908 and 1912, is one of the largest buildings of Jewish worship in Europe. Prior to the construction of this building, the Jews of Trieste worshipped in four small synagogues located in the Jewish ghetto. With the advent of fascism from 1922 the synagogue was closed. Later, during the Second World War and with the German occupation of Trieste, the temple was reduced to a repository for books and works of art stolen by the Nazis.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown, but it can be assumed that it emerged in the 16th century. In the 1920s, the community maintained 2 synagogues, a school, 2 welfare organizations, and a theatre company. The Jewish population in 1940 was 520. By WWII, only one-quarter of the Jewish population remained. Many were deported to the death camps. A small community was reestablished after the war.

Two parish churches could be identified for the village. The church with the ekklesionym Agios Georgios, built in the 19th century, is located on the eastern edge of the original settlement area. At present, this church is used as a centre for folk dances.
