Normally it would be called a monastery, although it can also be an Abbey, a Priory, or a Rectory, or even an Archabbey in the case of St. Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania; depending on the specific circumstances. There are also several groups of monks, like the Camaldolese and the Carthusians who live in hermitages.
