When placing a tile with a monastery <ref>
{{IconBook}}
An abbot could be placed onto an abbey or a shrine/cult place, as they are considered monasteries (albeit the latter heretic). The abbot can be involved in a challenge between a monastery/abbey and a shrine/cult place. The abbot's special ability would allow him to quit the challenge, even if his monastery/abbey or shrine/cult place was not complete, and would score the incomplete feature (monastery, abbey or shrine/cult place). See '''{{AbbeyMayorLink|logo=noborder}}''' and '''{{CountKingRobberLink|logo=noborder}}''' for more details.

An abbot could be placed onto other features considered monasteries: German monasteries, Dutch & Belgian monasteries, Japanese buildings and Darmstadt churches. The same rules mentioned in the previous note would apply. See '''{{MonasteriesGermanyLink|logo=noborder}} / {{JapaneseBuildingsLink|logo=noborder}}, {{DutchMonasteriesLink|logo=noborder|edition=C1}}''', and '''{{DarmstadtPromoLink|logo=noborder|edition=C1}}''' for more details.

The abbot '''is''' considered a meeple, but he has limitations as described in this sentence. Therefore the abbot '''can''' use a magic portal and '''can''' be used as a flier. However, the abbot can '''only''' end up on an unfinished monastery or garden, and the monastery or garden must be unclaimed if using the magic portal. (3/2015)

In contrast with the previous clarification from 3/2015, the Order of Play included in '''{{VariantsLink|version=BigBox6|logo=noborder}}''' omits the abbot from the list of figures that can be a flier. This omission is due to a mistake by HiG, as confirmed by one of the German proofreaders (Kettlefish) in this post from 5/2018 on Carcassonne Central:

The same omission is still present in rules translated into other languages. (01/2019)

The abbot cannot be placed on a tower. See '''{{TowerLink|logo=noborder}}''' for more information.

You may, of course, place a regular meeple onto the monastery, or other features, such as roads, etc. You '''may not''' place a regular meeple onto the garden.
