other uses Image Prieur de graville1.jpg right300px thumb The Priory de Graville, France A priory is a monastery of men or women under religious vows that is headed by a prior or prioress. Priories may be houses of mendicant friar s or religious sisters as the Dominican Order Dominicans , Augustinian Hermits Augustinians and Carmelites , for instance , or monastery monasteries of monk s or nun s as the Carthusians . The Benedictines and their offshoots Cistercians and Trappists among them , the Premonstratensians , and the military orders distinguish between conventual and simple or obedientiary priories. Conventual priories are those autonomous houses which have no abbot s, either because the canonically required number of twelve monks has not yet been reached, or for some other reason. At present the Benedictine Order has twenty seven conventual priories. Simple or obedientiary priories are dependencies of abbey s. Their superior, who is subject to the abbot in everything, is called a prior. These monasteries are satellites of the mother abbey. The Cluniac order is notable for being organised entirely on this obedientiary principle, with a single abbot at the Abbey of Cluny , and all other houses dependent priories. Priory may also refer to schools operated or sponsored by the Benedictines , such as the Saint Louis Priory School or the Woodside Priory School . Priory is also used to refer to the geographic headquarters of several Commandry feudalism commanderies of knight s.
