Abbeys, Monasteries and Cloisters

Discover and explore hidden or lost Abbeys, Monasteries and Cloisters!

A Monastery is a building, or complex of buildings, that houses a room reserved for prayer (e.g. an oratory) as well as the domestic quarters and workplace(s) of monastics, whether monks or nuns, and whether living in community or alone (hermits).

Our goal is to bring together people interested in such places to better know and protect them.
