===Places of worship===
{{main|List of Antoinist temples}}
The [[temple]]s are Antoinism's only place of worship. They are financed with anonymous donations and [[patronage]]s, and often members participate in the construction. They are all consecrated prior to their use for worship, which means that, at a ceremony, they received a "good fluid" by one of the founders when they were alive or by a duly authorized follower.<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], pp. 101,102,135.</ref>

The exterior facade displays an architecture which can be variable according to the temples, but always includes the words "Antoinist Worship" ("Culte Antoiniste") and the year of the building consecration. At the entrance, there is a [[porch]] where various writings of the religious movement, the internal regulations (in France only), the list of the places of worship and the holidays, as well as photos of the Antoine couple and of the various temples, are exhibited behind [[display windows]].<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 88.</ref>

The inside walls are always painted green, as a symbol of reincarnation. There is no decoration, and small papers on the walls indicate to visitors that they should not speak in the temple. Several rows of wooden benches separated by a center aisle are devoted to the faithful and visitors. They face a two-floor platform, where the worship is performed, and a text called "The Halo of Consciousness" ("L'Auréore de la Conscience"), which is written on the back wall. In France only, the highest platform is adorned, from left to right, with a representation of the "tree of science of the sight of evil", the Antoinist symbol, then a photo of Antoine and another one of Catherine; the photo of the Father is slightly higher than the other two.<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 89.</ref> On the left and the right, side rooms of around 15 m<sup>3</sup> are used as consulting offices whose walls are orned with five tables; the most impressive of them is Antoine's image.<ref>[[#Begot2|Bégot, 2000]], § 37.</ref> There is also a [[cloakroom]] and, adjacent to the temple, a small apartment continuously occupied by an Antoinist healer.<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 90.</ref>

The movement also owns [[Reference library|reading room]]s, but no worship is celebrated in these places. As of 2011, Antoinism counts 64 temples: 32 in Belgium, 31 in France and 1 in the Principality of [[Monaco]].{{not in source|date=April 2025}} In 1993, there were reading rooms in Belgium, Metropolitan France, [[Réunion]], [[Guadeloupe]], Australia, Brazil, Italy, Congo and [[Luxembourg]].<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], pp. 167,168.</ref> A reading room in Egypt was quickly closed in November 1913.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], pp. 263,269</ref>
