Kartause Koblenz, Carthusian monastery in Koblenz, Germany

The monastery was constructed on Beatusberg hill, forming the northeastern section of Hunsrück with views over the city of Koblenz.

Founded in 1331 by Archbishop Balduin of Luxembourg, the monastery operated until 1802 when French forces prompted its closure during the secularization period.

The Carthusian monks maintained strict routines of prayer, study, and solitude, contributing to the religious education and spiritual practices across the Rhine region.

The former monastery site now contains Fort Grossfürst Konstantin, a prison, a secondary school, and the state archives of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The monastery buildings underwent complete reconstruction between 1720 and 1737, including a three-aisled basilica, before their demolition for military purposes in 1822.
