place of worship
Where congregations gather
A place of worship is a building or space where people gather for religious observance—churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and the like.
The phrase is deliberately neutral, covering any faith tradition: The neighborhood has several places of worship within walking distance.
It appears often in legal and civic contexts where specificity about religion would be inappropriate.
