Mournhold Temple is in the northernmost district of the city of Mournhold in The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal. It serves as home for the living goddess Almalexia and her personal guard, the Hands of Almalexia.
Description[]
The temple is situated in the center of a lush park-like courtyard and has only a single entrance which faces south towards Mournhold's Royal Palace. The entrance leads to a reception area, where Fedris Hler can be found. Doors lead west to the Office of the Lord Archcanon and east to the infirmary. There is a third door that leads north to the High Chapel where Almalexia resides, but access is by invitation only. The Archcanon's office and the infirmary both, also, have an access to the High Chapel and the Hall of Ministry. The ministry has passages down into the temple basement.

Trivia[]
- Almalexia will not appear in the high chapel if console commands are used to gain entry without proper progression of the main quests.
- If the console command
coc "Mournhold Temple"
is used, the high chapel will be displayed but it will be named Mournhold Temple and near the center of the room there will be the Life Ring floating near the ground. No characters will appear and all the doors will now be wooden, opening only to blackness. The main entrance that would have been coming from Reception Area is just a black gate shaped area.
