old church

Weathered stone chapel

An old church is simply a church that has been standing for a long time, typically one with historical or architectural significance.

The phrase often evokes stone buildings, stained glass, and centuries of use: We got married in the old church where my grandparents were baptized.

An old church may still hold services or function primarily as a landmark.
