single word requests - Is there a name for a building that produces potions?



A few friends and I are developing a game that involves producing potions, however we're finding it hard to think of the name for a building suited to producing potions specifically.



Some names we have thought of include:




  • Workshop

  • Factory (This seems like more of a modern term, which goes against the setting of our game)

  • Brewery


  • Laboratory

  • Pharmacy



Does anybody know if there a more suitable name that we can use?


Answer



It was mentioned in the comments, and I agree: apothecary is probably your best bet.






  1. a druggist; a pharmacist.

  2. a pharmacy or drugstore.




(dictionary.com)



It can be used to describe either the place itself or the person who runs the place. Coupled with it's medieval etymology, it should give you the feel that you're looking for.
