A monastery is a building or complex of buildings comprising the domestic quarters and workplaces of monastics, monks or nuns, whether living in communities as cenobites or alone as hermits. The cited article says a monastery generally includes a place reserved for prayer, which may be a chapel, church or temple, and may also serve as an oratory, and that a complex may range from a single building housing only one senior and two or three junior monks or nuns to vast complexes and estates housing tens or hundreds. A monastery complex typically comprises a number of buildings which include a church, dormitory and cloister. Buildings recorded in the atlas as monasteries and abbeys are grouped under this concept.
