Charterhourse of Brno, Carthusian monastery in Kralovo Pole, Czech Republic

The Charterhouse of Brno is a former Carthusian monastery on Božetěchova Street in Královo Pole, founded in 1375. Its core keeps the medieval layout of monks' cells around small and large cloisters, with the austere Church of the Holy Trinity in the western part. Since 2002 the complex, except the church, has housed the Faculty of Information Technology of Brno University of Technology.

Margrave Jan Jindřich of Moravia, brother of Charles IV, founded the charterhouse on 13 August 1375, the first in Moravia; monks came from Gaming and the church was consecrated to the Holy Trinity. Hussites burned it in 1423, and Matthias Corvinus's Hungarian troops devastated it again in 1468–1469. Joseph II dissolved it in 1782, after which it served as barracks and a cadet school.

The monastery's Latin name was Cartusia S. Trinitatis, and the German name Königsfeld (King's Field) gave the Czech Královo Pole. The charterhouse was founded in 1375 by Margrave Jan Jindřich, who was buried in the church in 1405. Today the former monastic complex houses the Faculty of Information Technology of Brno University of Technology.

The former charterhouse at Božetěchova 2 now houses the Faculty of Information Technology of Brno University of Technology, so the grounds and buildings are generally not open to the public. The parish Church of the Holy Trinity, in the western part of the complex, remains in church use and is the part a visitor can normally enter.

The monastery church received a new Renaissance choir stall in 1604, carved by Emmerich Thurn; it is now kept in the Art History Museum in Prague, not on site. The church also holds the grave of Margrave Prokop, the founder's youngest son, buried in the fathers' choir in 1405.
