noun
A somewhat literary or old-fashioned word for kitchen; in modern everyday speech, 台所 (だいどころ) is far more common.
古い屋敷の厨には、大きなかまどが残っていた。

The reading くりや is a native Japanese word. The kanji 厨 (or its traditional form 廚) is a Chinese character meaning 'kitchen' and is used here as a jukujikun (meaning-based) assignment.
