São Dinis, is a megalithic site in the historic center of Pavia. The Anta was Christianized and transformed into the chapel of São Dionisio (São Dinis). Its oval chamber has a maximum outer diameter of 4.3 meters and a height of 3.3 meters. The only capstone measures 3.0 × 2.6 meters. The Anta was built between the 4th and 3rd millennium BC and was converted into a chapel in the 17th century.

São Brissos is a small "chapelanta". It is the transformation of a prehistoric dolmen into a Christian place of worship. The megalithic structure was probably converted into a chapel in the 17th century. The vestibule of the chapel was added to the four supporting stones of a large anta and to the huge capstone. Both the anta and the chapel have a rather unusual south-west orientation.

Engersen Church is only about 3 km north of Wiepker Church (see previous upload) but is somewhat younger. The church was neatly built from boulders around 1210/20, and the choir extended in a semicircle in the 16th century.

The late Romanesque building made of boulders was erected in the 12th century as a single-nave hall. Around 1600 the church was severely damaged in a fire. It became necessary to rebuild the bell story of the tower. A little later, the ridge turret was placed on the gabled roof.

Wiepke is a village about nine kilometers north of Gardelegen. The late Romanesque building made of boulders was erected in the 12th century as a single-nave hall.

Belle is a small village in the Lippe region that was incorporated into Horn-Bad Meinberg. The half-timbered chapel replaced a smaller one from the 15th century in the same place in 1741.

The "Basilique du Sacré Coeur" in Paray-le-Monial. The monastry existing since 974 became a dependency of nearby Cluny in 999. The first church "Paray I" was consecrated by Odilo of Cluny already in 1004. Though enlarged later to "Paray II", abbot Hugh of Cluny started the building of now existing church "Paray III" in 1090. As it has lots of similarities to the only little older "Cluny III", it is sometime called "Small Cluny". Looking onto the east end, the Cluny-influenced romanesque design is clearly visible. There is a cruciform plan, here to be seen is the transept, the crossing tower, the rectangular end of the nave, the halfround apse, surrounded by an ambulatory and the apsidal chapels.
