All Religious and Sacred Buildings

Buildings raised for worship, ritual or religious community life across traditions: the temple, the cathedral, the mosque, the shrine, the church, the basilica, the abbey, the chapel, the monastery, the madrasa complex, the gurdwara and the pagoda. Belongs here: any named building whose primary purpose is religious practice or a religious community's daily life, whatever the faith or era. Does not belong here: a building's style, which is captured on the separate style entity it relates to, or a purely funerary structure with no ongoing worship function, grouped under monuments, towers and commemorative structures.
