Chartreuse de Prébayon, Carthusian monastery ruins in Sablet, France
The Chartreuse de Prébayon contains individual cells surrounding a central church, following traditional Carthusian architectural principles of simplicity and functionality.
Established in the 12th century, the monastery adopted Carthusian practices when nuns in Prébayon embraced the order's way of life in 1145.
The monastery represents the Carthusian tradition of balancing solitary contemplation with communal prayer through its architectural layout and spiritual practices.
The site remains closed to general visitors due to its deteriorated condition, requiring special permissions for research or documentation purposes.
Each monk's cell within the monastery functioned as an independent living space with a garden, workshop, and prayer area connected by covered walkways.
