What is a place of religious affection or tribute called

The correct answer is - shrine.

The shrines are places of religious affection or tribute. They are objects specifically made for religious purposes. The people go in them in order to prey, confess, ask for advice, and numerous other reasons. These places are considered as holy places, both by the people that are part of the religion for which the shrine has been built, and for the people that follow other religion, at least in most cases. The shrines can be very simple, small, in a forested area, or very large, magnificent buildings, but in which ever way they are built and represented, they all have the same purpose and meaning.
