Priory of St. Zsardonye Tour - Exterior
The sprawling estate includes a chapel with a garden, a refectory, a chapter house, a dormitory, a lavatorium, a library, a watch tower, a caretaker's cottage, a chicken barn, and a statue folly.
(The lot is based on [san]'s clive barker's undying monastery from MTS2)
The inner courtyard features a charming little cherry tree, which the monks often harvest to make cherry sweets to be sold to keep the monastery running. A small courtyard is used as a place of contemplation, with the soft sounds of some small wall fountains.
But of course, the priory is known for its nectary. On the other side of the priory is the vineyard where grapes for their famous Zsardonye Nectars are grown. Watching over them is St. Zsardonye himself at the statue folly, which sits at the end of the cloisters.
At the back of the vineyard is the old watch tower, now used as a pigeon's aviary, and the barn where the chicken are kept. The chickens keep the vineyard free of pests, and behind it, in the back courtyard, is the old well, which leads to the clothesline area and a corridor to the refectory.
The garden sits at the side of the chapel, often cared for by the caretaker, who lives in a small cottage next to the chapel to help with the brothers for errands and issues that require the help of outside folks.
