Chartreuse Saint-Sauveur de la Nouvelle-Lumière
Chartreuse Saint-Sauveur de la Nouvelle-Lumière, Medieval monastery in Utrecht, Netherlands
The Carthusian monastery Nieuwlicht features preserved gate buildings and a farmhouse structure, reflecting traditional monastic architectural elements from its original construction.
Founded in February 1392 by nobleman Zweder van Abcoude at Bloemendaal, the monastery operated until 1580 when religious reforms led to its partial demolition.
The monastery produced numerous manuscripts, including 145 handwritten texts and 68 printed books, which now form part of the Utrecht University Library collection.
The remaining structures of Nieuwlicht are protected as a Rijksmonument, requiring specific permissions and arrangements for visits to the historical site.
Archaeological excavations in Klokkenveld have revealed foundations and artifacts from the original monastery, providing insights into medieval monastic life in Utrecht.
