Nuns have always lived in monasteries. They are sometimes called an Abbey, but the Abbey strictly refers to the Church, while "monastery" refers to the entire complex. "Monastery" can refer to a place where Nuns live, or where monks live. The archaic term for where Nuns live and work was "Nunnery."
