Résumé : The article questions the development of the territory, property rights and management of the built heritage of some colonial religious buildings observed in Lubumbashi. The city of Lubumbashi, like most cities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was initially born of colonialism. Its most telling infrastructures were made at that time. This is the case for certain reference religious buildings that we have observed with the aim of answering the question of work worded above. To do this, we relied on diversified documentary research, direct observation in the field but also, meeting on selected sites with resource persons, information and established religious leaders. Through these cultural buildings, we have noted the co-existing cultural diversity in Lubumbashi. The architectural types are in the image of each initiating people. The article believes it has highlighted the necessity for conservation of these buildings to be included in the cultural heritage of Lubumbashi and the exemplarity that they produce in the development of the post-colonial city.
