A "converted church" refers to a former place of worship that has been repurposed for a different use, such as residential living, commercial space, or community centers. These buildings often retain their original architectural features, which can add unique character and charm to their new function. Many converted churches are found in urban areas where the demand for housing or business space has increased. They can serve as a creative solution to space shortages while preserving historical structures. Examples of such conversions include loft apartments, art galleries, and restaurants.
