Chartreuse de Molsheim, Carthusian monastery in Molsheim, France.

The monastery complex occupies a central position in Molsheim's historic district, featuring multiple structures including a cloister, museum, and prior's residence.

Following the destruction of Koenigshoffen monastery in 1591, Carthusian monks established this new residence in 1626, operating until the French Revolution.

The monastery's library contained 4,133 works and numerous manuscripts, including the notable codex Hortus deliciarum, before the French Revolution.

Visitors can explore the monastery through guided tours starting at the museum ticket office, which provides access to preserved cells and the cloister.

The monastery produced medicinal spheres that were sold to treat various conditions, establishing a reputation for pharmaceutical knowledge.
