Chartreuse de Rodez, Carthusian monastery in Rodez, France.

The Chartreuse Notre-Dame d'Aveyron features stone buildings with individual cells arranged around a central cloister, following traditional Carthusian architectural principles.

Founded in 1511, the monastery continued its religious activities through centuries of French history, including periods of political upheaval and the French Revolution.

The monastery maintains the Carthusian tradition of strict silence and solitude, with monks living in separate cells and gathering only for daily prayers.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds during specified hours, though interior areas remain restricted to preserve the monks' contemplative lifestyle.

The monastery contains a collection of medieval manuscripts and religious texts, preserved by generations of Carthusian monks through centuries.
