The Monastery (aka The Abbey)
Each monastery endeavored to form an independent, self-supporting community whose monks had no need of going beyond its limits for anything.
In course of time, as a monastery increased in wealth and number of inmates, it might come to form an enormous establishment, covering many acres and presenting within its massive walls the appearance of a fortified town.
