Chartreuse du Liget
Chartreuse du Liget, Medieval Carthusian monastery in Chemillé-sur-Indrois and Sennevières, France.
Description
Chartreuse du Liget is a Carthusian monastery in the Loire region that spans two communes. The complex features several buildings with a striking gateway decorated with carved stone details.
History
The monastery was founded in 1178 and became an important religious center in medieval times. It suffered damage during regional conflicts but was restored and adapted over the centuries.

The name comes from the Carthusian order that lived here following strict rules of silence and solitude. Visitors can still see the cells built for isolated monastic life.
