No. There are Christian monasteries and non-Christian monasteries. Within the Christian tradition, there are many kinds of monastic observances. I am sure the same is true for non-Christian monastic communities.

What Monasteries did Henry VIII shut down?
all monasteries in Britian.
When was Henrys dissolution of the Monasteries?
Dissolution of the Monasteries happened between 1536 and 1541 by which Henry shut down all the Monasteries in England, Wales and Ireland. He did this because he wanted a divorce. If he stayed loyal to the Pope and church he wouldn't have been able to get the Divorce because the Pope refused, so he broke away from the Church and created The Church Of England. This way he was able to get the divorce, get money and also get power at the same time. After this he closed down all of the Monasteries, chucked Monks out of them, he took all of the Gold, money and power from the Monasteries for himself.

No. Monasteries are where monks and/or nuns live. Churches are where the congregation worships. However, a monastery usually includes a chapel or a church as part of the complex.
Are monasteries Protestant or catholic?
There are Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant and Ecumenical (e.g., Taize) monasteries. There are far more Catholic monasteries than Orthodox monasteries, largely because there are more Catholics that Orthodox. There are a few Protestant monasteries, but these are comparatively recent. Much of the Protestant Reformation was directed at abolishing monasteries, and it's only recently that some Protestants have decided that maybe monasteries are not such a bad idea, after all. The number of Ecumenical (Usually combined Catholic + Protestant) monasteries is very small, but many of the few that exist have been enormously influential, again citing the example of Taize.
