Chartreuse d'Auray, Carthusian monastery in Brech, France.
The Chartreuse d'Auray features a preserved cloister, chapel, and refectory, representing traditional Carthusian architectural elements within its stone walls and corridors.
Founded in 1480, the monastery housed Carthusian monks until 1791 when the French Revolution led to their expulsion and the property's subsequent transformation.
The monastery became an educational center in 1810 when two priests established a school for deaf-mute children, marking a shift from religious to social purposes.
Located at coordinates 47.6839, -3.00111, visitors can contact the administration at 02.97.24.27.02 to arrange visits and learn about accessibility options.
The site contains a memorial chapel dedicated to the victims of Quiberon, where remains of executed emigrants were transferred during the 1814 Restoration period.
