Herne Charterhouse, Medieval Carthusian monastery in Herne, Belgium.

The religious complex features separate cells for monks, communal spaces, and Gothic architectural elements that reflect traditional Carthusian monastic design principles.

Founded in 1314, the monastery operated continuously until its suppression in 1783 during the widespread dissolution of religious institutions across the region.

The monastery represents the Carthusian tradition of combining solitary contemplation with structured communal gatherings for prayer and essential activities.

The monastery remains can be accessed through an entrance at Kapellestraat 74, where visitors can examine the historical structures and architectural details.

Carthusian monks at Herne developed specific agricultural techniques and maintained extensive gardens while adhering to their strict religious practices.
