Corroirie, Medieval monastic complex in Chemillé-sur-Indrois, France.

La Corroirie features a fortified entrance, Gothic church, prison cells, and agricultural buildings within a stone enclosure near the Aubigny stream.

Established in the late 12th century, the complex served as the economic center for Carthusian monks of Chartreuse du Liget until the French Revolution.

The separation between spiritual and material activities led to the creation of this lower house where lay brothers managed agricultural operations.

The site contains preserved medieval architecture, including defensive structures from the 16th century with towers and artillery openings.

La Corroirie maintained its own prison facility, an exceptional feature for monastic establishments, allowing monks to exercise judicial authority.
