Medieval Latin writers also sometimes used the word ''{{Lang|la|templum}}'', previously reserved for temples of the ancient Roman religion. In some cases it is hard to determine whether a temple was a building or an outdoor shrine. For temple buildings of the [[Germanic peoples]], the [[Old Norse]] term ''[[Heathen hofs|hof]]'' is often used.
