private chapel
Household worship space
A private chapel is a chapel reserved for the use of individuals, families, or specific groups rather than open to the general public.
Wealthy estates, castles, and institutions like hospitals or universities often maintain private chapels for residents or members: The wedding was held in the family's private chapel.
