The difference, The simple explanation is that monks live in a monastery and stay in the monastery and devote themselves to God.
“Friars, on the other hand, live in a friary and work out in the community with the poor and needy.

The Reichenbach Monastery ("Kloster Reichenbach") was founded in 1082 as the first priory of Hirsau Abbey. Abbot Wilhelm of Hirsau sent eight monks from Hirsau, to settle the place. The building of the church must have started immediately as already three years later the church, dedicated to Gregory the Great, got consecrated. It is hard to imagine, that the church seen today, was built within only three years, but it may well be, that the Bishop of Konstanz consecrated, while the work was still in progress.
The priory existed upto the Reformation, when the whole area turned Protestant. Today the church is the parochial Lutheran church of Klosterreichenbach.
The choir may be similar to that one of St. Aureius in Hirsau, where it is lost.

Kvatakhevi is a medieval Georgian Orthodox monastery in Shida Kartli, Georgia.
It dates to the 12th-13th century. The building has two portals, one to the south and one to the west. The façades are covered with finely hewn white stone squares. Historically, Kvatakhevi was also a literary center where several manuscripts were copied. It also possessed a treasure with many artifacts of medieval Georgian jewelry.
The monastery was significantly damaged during Timur's invasions of Georgia in the 14th century, but was subsequently repaired, more completely under the patronage of Prince Ivane Tarkhan-Mouravi in 1854. A belfry was added in 1872.
