Chartreuse de Bellary, Carthusian monastery in Châteauneuf-Val-de-Bargis, France.

The Chartreuse de Bellary features a grand chapel with sacristy, an annex chapel, and a sixteenth-century refectory within its stone walls.

Founded in 1209 by Hervé IV de Donzy and Mahaut de Courtenay, the monastery received papal dispensation from Innocent III to prevent marriage annulment.

The monastery exemplifies Carthusian architectural principles with its layout focusing on solitude and prayer spaces for the resident monks.

Located at coordinates 47.2933 latitude and 3.14528 longitude, the site has been registered as a historic monument since October 20, 1971.

The tabernacle-altarpiece from the monastery church remains preserved at the Auguste-Grasset Museum in Varzy.
