Summary
A church originally ran and presided by Kyoko Sakura's father. The main chapel -- the only part of the interior shown in present day. It is heavily damaged due to years of neglect and decay. The church's architecture is similar to that of the Canterbury cathedral. The anime and game imply that the Sakura family once lived either near or on the premises. They also imply this may be the location where Kyoko's parents and younger sister died. In anime Episode 7, Kyoko brings Sayaka here to tell Sayaka about her past.
The structure makes a reappearance in the movie version.
