Chartreuse de Seillon, Carthusian monastery in Péronnas, France.
The Chartreuse de Seillon monastery spans across extensive grounds with individual cells for monks, following traditional Carthusian architectural principles of the 12th century.
Founded in 1168, the monastery operated under Carthusian rule for one year before transitioning to Franciscan use until its closure during the French Revolution in 1792.
The monastery maintains the Carthusian tradition of combining solitary life in individual cells with communal prayer sessions in designated gathering spaces.
The monastery remains stand at coordinates 46°10'58"N and 5°13'36"E, with the Ancienne Chapelle Notre-Dame de Seillon among its preserved structures.
The monastery grounds feature specific architectural elements that facilitated both agricultural activities and spiritual practices, supporting the self-sufficient nature of monastic life.
