Buxheim Charterhouse, Gothic monastery in Buxheim, Germany.
The Carthusian monastery near Memmingen features extensive cloisters, a monastic church, and St. Anne's Chapel with detailed architectural elements throughout the complex.
Emperor Charles V declared Buxheim an Imperial Charterhouse in 1548, granting it independence from all territorial authority except for direct imperial control.
The monastery housed a collection of 700 manuscripts and 700 incunables, forming one of the largest medieval libraries in Europe at its height.
Visitors can explore the monastery grounds daily, with guided tours available in German that explain the architectural features and monastic traditions.
The Buxheim Carvings, created between 1687 and 1691 by Ignaz Waibl, returned to the chapel in 1980 after traveling through England and other locations.
