In the Abbaye Saint-Léger in Soissons. The crypt was made in two phases, first a Romanesque crypt in the late 11th century, and then a choir added around 1200.

Unlike monks of other orders, who live in common, the Carthusians—to this day—live as hermits, each occupying his own cell (more like a small house), and coming together only for the nocturnal liturgical hours, and on Sundays and feast-days, in the chapel; the other hours are sung by each monk separately in his cell. Except for the singing of the liturgy and conversation "on grave subjects" during a weekly three-hour exercise walk, Carthusians are silent, and their diet is strictly vegetarian.
The monks at Mount Grace were very conscious of hygiene and sanitation; included in the reconstructed cell is a reconstructed latrine and visitors are able to investigate the ditches used as sewage systems.

At the little Romanesque church at Hjälmseryd, which was originally built in the 12th century. It was replaced as a parish church in the middle of the 19th century and soon became severely dilapidated. But in the 1920s an interest in the old church building (by then completely in runis) started to take shape and money was collected to rebuild it. The church was reconstructed to its medieval form [though hardly its original 12th century form, the sacristy (here seen to the far right) was surely originally built later during the Middle Ages]. Some of the original inventory was also restored to the church -unfortunately the church was locked at the time of my visit so I couldn't see them.
This portal is a reconstruction - but it incorporates original, medieval elements.

Glastonbury Abbey was a monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Its ruins, a grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument, are open as a visitor attraction.
The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th. It was destroyed by a major fire in 1184, but subsequently rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England.
