I believe it's really about the building itself, but maybe just because 
I didn't think about the fact that a monastery could be something else 
than a building... Is there a difference anyway?

wikipedia helps:

"Monastery (plural: monasteries) denotes the building, or complex of 
buildings, that houses a room reserved for prayer[...]"

"In English usage, the term "monastery" is generally used to denote the 
buildings of a community of monks. "

So I think it's the building.
