Hierden, NL
Although the H. Severinus chapel stood here around 1350, the current church was only built around 1850. An old schoolroom from 1658 was converted into a church in 1851. This created a hall church with barrel vaults. The addition of two side wings with portals in 1937 changed this design. The front facade has two pointed arch windows and a round window. Striking is the climbing arch frieze in which pointed arches and entire circle shapes are also incorporated, as well as the clock face. The facade is crowned with a small bell tower.

Berlin, DE
The Sacred Heart Church is a Catholic church that was built between 1897 and 1898 by the architect Christoph Hehl. At the end of the 19th century, the urban expansion of Berlin necessitated the construction of new places of worship. As the future district of Prenzlauer Berg was not very dense, the only notable pre-existing buildings were windmills and inns. One of these inns was purchased in 1890 by the parish of St. Hedwig to build a chapel, together with the adjacent presbytery and a Catholic school.
