The '''Refectory''' in Orthodox Church usage generally refers to the dining room in [[monastery|monasteries]]. These dining facilities are also called '''Trapeza'''.
While the refectory may be a free standing building, at times the dining hall is joined to an extension of the building in which [[altar]] is placed as in regular [[church]] buildings. An example in is the Trepaza Trapeza at the [[Trinity Lavra of St Sergius|Trinity-Sergius Lavra]] north of Moscow, Russia.
