Église des Chartreux, Neoclassical church in 4th arrondissement of Marseille, France.
The Église des Chartreux features a 31-meter-wide facade with eight supporting columns and reaches a height of 27 meters in its central nave.
Construction of the church began in 1633 with funds from aristocratic families, and its completion was marked by consecration from Marseille's bishop in 1702.
The church displays Michel Serre's painting of Saint Mary Magdalene's Apotheosis in its choir, the sole remaining artwork from the original monastery.
Located near the Jarret stream, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements and religious significance.
The building previously served as a chapel for Carthusian monks, who followed strict rules of limited communication and maintained two separate cloisters.
