Convent
Nuns live here
A convent is a community of people—usually women—living under religious vows, or the building where they reside.
Historically, convents housed nuns devoted to prayer, service, and communal life under Catholic or Anglican orders.
The word sometimes extends to male religious communities, though monastery is more common for men.
