La chapelle de Kermaria an Iskuit est située dans le hameau de Kermaria en Plouha (Côtes-d'Armor), la chapelle de Kermaria an Iskuit (ou Kermaria an Isquit) se dresse au milieu de la campagne. Elle a été bâtie au XIII siècle, sous Henri II d’Avaugour qui accompagna le baillistre de Bretagne Pierre de Dreux à la croisade en Terre sainte, et revint dans ses terres en 1240.
The chapel of Kermarian An Isquit is located in the hamlet of Plouha (Côtes d'Armor). It was built in the XIIIth century by Henri II d'Avaugour.
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.

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.
Sus tres fachadas, la principal situada en la plaza de Santa María, otra en la calle de Santa María y la del paseo del Born, muestran la esencia del gótico catalán: torres octogonales, abundancia de superficies desnudas y contrafuertes macizos.
La fachada principal está decorada con las imágenes de San Pedro y San Pablo, con un insuperable rosetón de estilo gótico flamígero del siglo XV. En la fachada de la calle Santa María destacan las gárgolas de los contrafuertes, el reverso de las vidrieras y, sobre todo, sus monumentales dimensiones.Su interior es igualmente paradigma del gótico catalán con su amplitud de formas y la austeridad decorativa. Tiene tres naves de gran altura separadas por altas columnas y su armonía consiste en que las naves laterales miden la mitad exacta que la central y la anchura total del conjunto es igual a la altura de las naves laterales. Su riqueza decorativa fue destruida tras los disturbios de 1936, aunque subsisten lápidas relacionadas con el mundo marinero

“My object then," replied Darcy, "was to show you, by every civility in my power, that I was not so mean as to resent the past; and I hoped to obtain your forgiveness, to lessen your ill opinion, by letting you see that your reproofs had been attended to. How soon any other wishes introduced themselves I can hardly tell, but I believe in about half an hour after I had seen you.”
― Jane Austen
