Is there a word meaning a place where pigeons are kept and held?
In the Middle East, some people have a place on their roof to keep pigeons. Sometimes, this place is like a big cage and sometimes it is made from other building materials such bricks, cement, etc.
A person that has made this place is called pigeon-fancier.
A literal rendering of this place is pigeon house.
Have you heard this word in English?
And is there another word for it?

In the US, "pigeon coop" is the most common term (even though the dictionaries appear to prefer "pigeon loft" or "pigeon house"). "Coop" is most familiar because a place for keeping chickens is a chicken coop.
