I am from a country with lot's of monasteries, there purpose are the monks to stay as far away from civilization as possible and dedicate themselves to God so they do not give in to "sin".They live a very quiet life full of prayer.
The purpose of a monastery s to provide group living space and work space for monks or nuns.

For the most part, monasteries were not built by the Catholic Church but by individual monks or Orders. All the Catholic Church did was approve of their rule of life and, especially in the case of women's monasteries, established canonical enclosure giving them grills to protect them from the outside world.
