Chartreuse du Mont-Dieu, Carthusian monastery in Le Mont-Dieu, France

The monastery features a grand main building with Gothic architectural elements and an entrance pavilion surrounded by extensive stone walls.

Established in 1132 by the abbot of Saint-Rémi de Reims, the monastery underwent substantial reconstruction during the seventeenth century.

The monastery served as a center for manuscript copying and illumination, contributing to the preservation of medieval knowledge and literature.

While the interior remains closed to the public, visitors can observe the external architecture and grounds from designated viewing areas.

During the Black Death, monk Dom Guillaume Pétrarque maintained religious duties as one of the few survivors in the monastery.
