| contents | Historical Worship Spaces (HWS) are significant architectural landmarks which hold both cultural and spiritual value. The acoustic properties of these spaces play a crucial role in historical and contemporary religious liturgies, rituals, and ceremonies, as well as in the performance of sacred music. However, the original acoustic characteristics of these spaces are often at risk due to repurposing, renovations, natural disasters, or deterioration over time. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current state of research on the acquisition, analysis, and synthesis of acoustics, with a focus on HWS. An example case study of the Nassau chapel in Brussels, Belgium, is presented to demonstrate the application of these techniques for the preservation and auralization of historical worship space acoustics. The paper concludes with a discussion of the challenges and opportunities in the field, and outlines future research directions. |
