Chartreuse de Liège, Carthusian monastery in Amercœur, Belgium
The Chartreuse de Liège stands on Mont Cornillon, featuring traditional monastic architecture with thick stone walls and multiple courtyards for contemplative activities.
The original monastery site transformed into Fort de la Chartreuse between 1817 and 1823 under Dutch governance to establish military defenses overlooking the Meuse Valley.
The monastery maintains Carthusian traditions of silence and solitude, with thirty monks dedicating their lives to prayer and meditation within its walls.
While the monastery remains closed to visitors, the Museum of Grande Chartreuse presents exhibits about monastic life with multilingual audio guides.
Two dedicated monks supervise the production of Chartreuse liqueur, following a secret recipe passed down through generations of the order.
