Chapels are small places of worship that can be part of a larger institution, such as a hospital, university, or shopping mall, and often don't have a regular congregation. They serve specific functions or events, whereas churches are designed for ongoing community worship. Chapels can be located indoors, occupying a dedicated room (consider: indoor=room), or be a standalone building (try building=religious.)
One of the distinctive features of chapels is that they often provide quiet spaces for prayer and contemplation and can be found in accessible, public settings, making them a convenient option for people seeking a peaceful place to reflect.
