A 
chapel is a religious building, often pretty small. One can enter in it to pray or meditate.
How to map
Draw as an area along the building outline. In cases where it is impossible one may use a node instead.
Tag it with building=chapel.
A chapel is often part of a larger entity, such as a church, monastery but also non-religious entities such as schools, airports... In this case where it is not a separate building, it should not be mapped as a separate building, but amenity=place_of_worship can and should be mapped.
