The first church at Valberg was built around 1660. It shared a priest with Buksnes until 1740 when it was transferred to the Borge parish. In 1749, the church was destroyed during a powerful storm. The second church at Valberg was completed a few years after the first one was destroyed. This church was destroyed in a storm in 1818. A third church building was completed the next year. That church was used until 1888 when a new church (the present church) was built.
Lullington Church, also known as the Church of the Good Shepherd, on the South Downs at Lullington in East Sussex is one of several churches claimed to be the smallest church in England. It was built from the remains of the chancel of an earlier church that was destroyed by fire, generally believed to have occurred at the time of Oliver Cromwell. It measures a mere 16 feet (5 metres) square and seats 20 people.
The original church is believed to date from the late 12th or early 13th century and was built as a chapel in the parish of Alfriston, owned by Battle Abbey, and later became a separate parish. In 1927 the parishes of Alfriston and Lullington were merged. The original dedication of the church is unknown, and in 2000 the Bishop of Chichester dedicated the church to the Good Shepherd.
The church was the inspiration for British Sea Power's song "The Smallest Church in Sussex", which featured as a b-side to "Remember Me" in 2003. The organ featured on that song comes from the harmonium inside the actual church.
Together with the Pyatnitskaya church, the church forms a single ensemble. The temple was built in 1707 on the site of a dilapidated wooden church. The building was built in classic style. The walls of the temple are smooth. The windows are decorated with carved platbands and are located at the same height as the windows of the neighboring Pyatnitskaya church.

Today we arrive to the Landze church which is located in rural country side on the bank of river Venta. It's open several times a year and Christmas is one of them
The more than 300-year-old Landze Lutheran Church is located near Piltene, in a very picturesque place on the banks of the Venta. The landscape around the church is complemented by a grove of old lindens (there are 7 large lindens here, the circumference of the thickest tree is 6.4 m - it was a beehive tree, the trunk has large knots). An alley leads to the Landze church from the rectory (former boarding house building), where a pear tree with a circumference of 2 m also grows.
The Baltic German poet and translator Kārlis Hugenberger (1784 – 1860) spent his childhood in the Landze rectory. There are ancient burials near the church. Former parish priest of Landze, theologian and historian Teodors Kallmejers (1809 – 1859) is buried here. To the southeast of the church is an ancient cemetery.
Landze is believed to be one of two churches that were built as part of a treaty concluded in 1252 between the Bishopric of Courland and the Livonian Order on its Vinda (Ventava) lands. It existed already in Catholic times, since Jakob Polen founded a vicaria in it in 1518 in honor of the Virgin Mary. The gift was approved by the Master of the Order Walter von Plettenberg. But by the time Gotthard Kettler came to power, it had already collapsed, because by order of February 28, 1567, he ordered the construction of a church in Landze as well.
Probably built a wooden church in 1609 it was still in relatively good condition, only, presumably, initially it was without a tower, since in 1678 the bells hung, as is understood from the descriptions, in a separately standing tower.
In 1700, a tower was built and in 1703 the bells found their place in the tower that stood in the churchyard. The documents of 1712 say that the church is quite new, she has a tiled roof, a red-painted tower strewn with tin, holding two metal bells. The church has new benches, an altar and a chair. This tower threatens to invade as early as 1737. In 1744, by order of the duke, a significant redevelopment is carried out. The tower is demolished and built from the very foundation. It was originally made of wood, in 1776 Christopher Dittrich, Georg von Medem, the renter of the Zūras, orders the construction of a new one from stones. The final restoration work was carried out by Gustav von Lambsdorf, Count of Zūras, in 1847–1848 and finally in 1878 and 1909.
The pastoral lodge is believed to have been founded by Duke Gotthard and suffered greatly from the leaching of the Venta coast. The pastorate's lands were declining until finally 19.gs. in the first half, Count von Lambsdorf, the owner of the Zurs, allocates significant areas of land and restored the pastoral mansion to its former extent. Venta leachates in the 18th century. The pastorate, who was then south of the church, was also threatened, as in 1788 the pastorate had to be relocated and installed north of the church.
St. Anne's Catholic Church, Wooloowin, Queensland, standing proud in the afternoon sunshine. In the warmer months, the large terracotta pots along the side of the building grace delightful shades of Mandevilla, creating a lovely contrast against the roughly rendered white wall.
