Construction on Saint Mary's Church, known as 'Kisha e Shën Mërisë,' commenced in 1789 and reached completion with decorations in 1891. After being closed in 1967, it was reopened in 1991, with its most recent restoration occurring in 2017. Access to the church is granted from the western side, marked by an arch formed by two stone columns. The narthex, comprising two levels, provides entry to the main body of the church. The upper level can be reached by wooden stairs on the left wing. To enter the nave, one descends three steps through the central door of the narthex. An alternate entrance lies to the south, connecting to an open hall. The nave showcases four columns joined by vaulted arches, with a central cylindrical dome featuring narrow windows. On both the north and south sides, the cylindrical nave extends east to west. Illumination for the nave comes through four sizable windows on each side. The area of the altar is demarcated by a walnut wood-carved iconostasis, followed by the semicircular apse.

The Casa Artelor, also known as the House of Arts, is located in Piata Mica and holds historical significance as the former residence of the butchers' guild. Its origins can be traced back to 1370, with subsequent additions including the southern facade, completed in 1789. This restored historical monument now houses the House of Arts, a dynamic creative center within the ASTRA Museum. Functioning as the museum's latest cultural enterprise, this project serves as a bridge between the past, present, and future crafts. Supported by EEA Grants 2014 – 2021 through the RO-CULTURE Programme, this initiative commenced on October 1, 2020, and is set to flourish until March 31, 2024. The House of Arts stands as a testament to the enduring evolution of artistic expression and cultural heritage, transforming its historical roots into a thriving hub of creativity and collaboration.

The stone bridge that crosses Virginia Water was built between 1822 and 1827 on the site of two earlier bridges. The first wooden 'Great Bridge' was built as part of the Duke of Cumberland's works in the eighteenth century and rose in a single span. The second, the Great Stone Bridge, completed in 1789, was so dilapidated by 1826 that the architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville judged that it would be folly to repair it. His own massively constructed Five-Arch Bridge has lasted relatively unchanged for 180 years.

A temporary palace, called haenggung in Korean, refers to the temporary residence used by a king when he was not at the main palace in the royal capital. During the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), temporary palaces were built in many parts of the country, including Namhansanseong Fortress, where the royal family once took refuge during a war, and in Asan, where kings traveled to enjoy hot springs. This temporary palace was built by King Jeongjo (r. 1776-1800). In 1789, King Jeongjo moved his father Crown Prince Sado's tomb from today's Hwigyeong-dong, Seoul to Hwaseong, and he needed a place to stay nearby when he visited to pay his respects. So, he had this temporary palace constructed. It was completed the following year, in 1790. When Hwaseong Fortress was constructed from 1794 to 1796, the temporary palace was significantly expanded. In 1795, King Jeongjo held a splendid royal banquet here to celebrate the 60th birthday of his mother, Lady Hyegyeong. When the king was not visiting, the temporary palace also functioned as the local government office for the Suwon area. King Jeongjo planned to retire to this temporary palace after abdicating the throne, and it was therefore built in a grand scale similar to the palaces in the royal capital. It was thus the largest temporary palace in all of Joseon. In the early 20th century, all of the buildings, except Nangnamheon and Noraedang Halls, were demolished to build a provincial hospital on the site. The palace was reconstructed between 1996 and 2002.
