Duke Church
On Easter Sunday, March 26, 1967, we went to church in the Duke Chapel, a grand Gothic church. (My Life)

The confusion may be due to two uses of the same word "church". "went to church" means attended services, gathered together for a religious ceremony. "Gothic church" is a building in an architectural style called "Gothic".
