Citeaux Trappist Mission was established in 1896, and had a commanding view over the Umkomaas Valley. Citeaux was named after Citeaux, near Dijon, a Cistercian Abbey, founded in 1098. The local Mission was established as an outstation between Clairvaux, near Mpendle, and Reichenau, near Underberg. The remains of the mission can be found deep in the forests overlooking the Umkomaas Valley. All that remains is a large stone barn, residence and the remains of the shrine or Grotto. Athough high up from the river, the station drew its water from a local stream, close to a waterfall.

This church has now been put on the market and its future is uncertain. Protected by Amafa, the church has changed hands and work has commenced on alterations . (2020) All alterations have to be passed by Amafa. "The Neo-Gothic/perpendicular style Presbyterian Church was built in 1886. The walls of the church, which reach over nine metres in height, are made of a coloured clay brick and the stained glass windows fitted into the building were manufactured in England and shipped out to Durban, as was much of the original ironmongery and cabinetry. The church itself can accommodate a congregation of 300 people. Seating is still in place along with other furnishings. The 2 583 square metre site includes a large hall with approximately 275 metres of floor area, which was formerly used as a functions room and was home to the Kathleen Voysey Clinic and soup kitchen which served the needy community for many years."

St John’s The Divine Anglican Church, in Romanesque Revival style, at 205 Clark Road, Glenwood, has a rather austere look from the outside, having been constructed of red face-brick. This church built in 1922, is however a work of art inside. Along with the many commemorative plaques, the roof trusses above the nave and the symmetrical arches into the side aisles, give the interior its grand beauty. The apse, with dome is surrounded by aisles.There is a brick bell tower at the junction of the nave and chancel. It is however the many stained-glass windows that add to the beauty, providing subdued light.
