Monasteries often accumulated wealth through donations, land ownership, and agricultural production, making them attractive targets for Viking raids. They housed valuable items such as gold, silver, and religious artifacts, which were easily transportable and could be quickly looted. Additionally, monasteries were typically located in remote areas, making them vulnerable and less defended. The combination of their wealth and relative isolation made monasteries prime targets for Viking plunder.
