Mauerbach Charterhouse
Mauerbach Charterhouse, Carthusian monastery in Mauerbach, Austria.
The Mauerbach Charterhouse features early baroque architecture with a grand church, imperial wing, and enclosed gardens spread across its monastic complex.
Founded in 1313 by Gerlach of Traiskirchen, the monastery operated until 1782 when Emperor Joseph II dissolved it as part of his religious reforms.
The monastery cells contained individual gardens where monks lived in solitude, following strict rules that shaped their daily activities and dietary practices.
The Federal Monuments Office provides guided tours of the monastery complex by appointment, allowing visitors to explore the historical structures and gardens.
Archaeological excavations revealed complete inventories from latrine shafts, including Italian majolica tableware and evidence of fish, beaver, and turtle breeding.
