Medieval monasteries were based on 6th century rules set up by St. Benedict. A medieval monastery was a building or a complex of several buildings where Monks or Nuns lived. They lived there alone or in communities depending upon the type of monastery. Monks and Nuns took a vow of poverty, chastity and remained loyal to their leaders.
