Kartause Marienburg, Medieval monastery near Dülmen, Germany.

The Kartause Marienburg features stone buildings arranged around a central courtyard, incorporating remnants of an earlier water castle from the 12th century.

Founded in 1476, this Carthusian monastery operated continuously until 1802, serving as the only Carthusian establishment in the Westphalia region.
