Chartreuse de Lugny, Carthusian monastery in Leuglay, France.
The Chartreuse de Lugny features individual cells for monks, communal prayer spaces, and agricultural buildings spread across its monastic grounds in Côte d'Or.
Founded in 1170, the monastery operated continuously until 1791, when the French Revolution led to its closure and subsequent transformation into a historical monument.
The monastery exemplifies the Carthusian Order's dedication to solitude, with monks gathering only three times daily for prayer while spending remaining hours in contemplation.
The monastery grounds, protected as a French historical monument since 1925, require advance arrangements for visits due to preservation regulations.
The monastery's architectural layout maintains distinct separation between individual cells, creating physical distances that reinforce the solitary nature of Carthusian life.
