Valdice Charterhouse, Carthusian monastery in Valdice, Czech Republic.
The monastery features Baroque architectural elements with a church dedicated to Saint Joseph, rising among the buildings of the Bohemian Paradise region.
Established in 1627 by Albrecht von Wallenstein, the monastery operated until 1782 when Emperor Josef II ordered its dissolution and transformation into a military facility.
The monastery represents the Carthusian tradition of monastic life, where monks lived in individual cells practicing meditation and following strict religious routines.
Located at námĕstí Míru 1 in Valdice, the monastery complex opens for guided tours that explain its transformation from religious center to military storage.
The crypt of the monastery contains the remains of its founder, Albrecht von Wallenstein, transferred there from Stříbro in 1636.
