Serbo-Croat term
konak
Otac German Vucicevic je na celu malobrojnog manastirskog bratstva. Monasi su 17. marta evakuisani i tako sacuvali zive glave, ali su konak sa kapelom i mnoge relikvije potpuno unistene. Za oca Germana jasno je objasnjenje zbog cega je manastir bio meta nekoliko stotina Albanaca koji su tada dosli da ga uniste.

monastic quarters, quarters
KONAK - MONASTIC QUARTERS According to the Athonite and Byzantine
rules, all monastic quarters were built within the enclosure walls. Old Chilandar
monastic quarters have not been preserved. The present-day quarters date from the period between the late 16th and the late 17th centuries. The legend has it that some of the distinguished Chilandar people lived in those cells. The cells of the Old Symeon and Monk Sava are in the small residence building near the well. On the first floor of the residence building near the Church of the Virgin’s Shroud is the cell of Paisios of Chilandar, "the father of the Bulgarian
history".

mansion
Sorry this isn't in Serbo-Croatian, it also a Turkish word meaning mansion, I think it might be the same in Serbo-Croat.

VPUHING, I like the link you sent, it looks like the monastic part was added during Ottoman rule (16th-17th Centuries). I am still wondering about the origin of the word and how it applis to other languages. Though in this context in Serbo-Croat I can see how it applies to monastic quarters.

Another example would be this is a hotel that incorporates the \"Konak\" in it also,the \"Yellow House\"

Miomira Brankovic
: You are right about the origin and proper meaning of the word: konak = sleeping quarters, residence, family house, villa (acc. to Turkish-Serbian Dictionary), but the passage provided by the asker specifically refers to monastic quarters.

I'll agree with that the correct context is for monastic quarters. I had never seen the word used for monastic quarters, this is a learning process for me also.

konak
Konak is a place in which traveling salesmen would stay over night (usually), although basically something like a motel of some king or inn to be precise.

It has Turkish origin, but it craved into the language, especially Bosnian and it is still used, usually in association with over-night stay
