Chartreuse de Montrieux-le-Vieux
Chartreuse de Montrieux-le-Vieux, Carthusian monastery in Méounes-lès-Montrieux, France.
The Chartreuse de Montrieux-le-Vieux stands within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, featuring architectural elements from multiple centuries of religious construction.
Founded in 1137 as the eighth Carthusian house, the monastery survived numerous conflicts and underwent several restorations between the 17th and 18th centuries.
The monastery gained recognition when Gherardo Petracco, brother of poet Petrarch, resided there and survived the Black Death epidemic of 1348.
The monastery, managed by a private organization, requires advance arrangements for visits and maintains restricted access to certain areas of the complex.
A monk from this monastery introduced styrax aliboufier plants to the region, which developed into extensive forests still present in the area.
