Chartreuse d'Oujon, Archaeological site and class A Swiss cultural property in Arzier-Le Muids, Switzerland.
The ruins of this Carthusian monastery lie in a forest clearing of the Jura Mountains at an elevation of 1000 meters above sea level.
The monastery operated from 1146 until 1537, when the Bernese authorities denied permission for reconstruction after a fire, leading to its dissolution.
Archaeological excavations conducted since 1945 have revealed foundations and walls that demonstrate the architectural layout of medieval Carthusian monasteries.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours, and artifacts from the excavations are displayed at the Historical Museum of Nyon.
This monastery holds the distinction of being the first Carthusian establishment in Switzerland, receiving substantial land donations from Lord Olivier de Mont.
