For convent, monestary and generally religious place but not open to the
public there is no "official" tag. I just found a proposition (2) to tag
building=convent, building=monastery, buiding=seminary and even a
building=church (?)...
There is also a historic=monastery (3) but it seems to apply only to old
monastery not used nowday...

I asked a similar question last week on the Dutch list. My question
was how to tag a former church that is not used as a church anymore.
There the answer was they tag them as building=church.

As I would understand it ...

building=church tells you about the building. place_of_worship tells you about the "usage".

Now I see there is a historic-tag, so maybe that is a better one to
use. On the wiki historic=church is not mentioned, but could fall
under building="User defined".

historic=church tells you that it has "some historic value". I wouldn't use this for a church that is e.g. just 40 years old and is no longer used for "religious purposes" now.
