: Given teh information that has come up in the discussion, I would go with this or "the ruins of the monastery"

"the ruins of..." might put the focus on the little left standing rather than on the original whole, no?

|
| agree |
Charles Davis
: I can't think of anything better than this. I don't think "former monastery" will do, because that would mean that it still exists but is now used for some other purpose.

the extinct monastery
My 2 cents worth as Ramey would say. A slightly unusual use of the word extinct, but fairly common.
Peer comment(s):

: I like this option better, since the monastery, I presume, is no longer there. Happy New Year!

: I am not surprised. - the web can come up with virtually anything! The first mention is about 'Upper Austria' in a translated-sounding article. Mind you, I wonder if the whole 'no longer surviving' idea is really necessary in the title.

You'd be surprised how many extinct monasteries there are on the web!

And surely the text itself gives some clues as to whether the ruins still exist? Have you read the whole document? Would "former monastery" be appropriate?
