Žiče Charterhouse, Gothic monastery ruins in Slovenske Konjice Municipality, Slovenia.
The stone walls of this extensive monastic complex include a church, living quarters, courtyards, and agricultural buildings spread across multiple levels.
Founded in 1165, the Carthusian monastery operated continuously for nearly four centuries until Turkish invasions and economic changes led to its decline.
The monastery served as a center of religious learning where monks dedicated their lives to prayer, manuscript copying, and maintaining strict dietary regulations.
Guided tours of the monastery grounds operate daily from April through October, with special exhibitions highlighting medieval monastic life.
The monastery features a specialized food delivery system through wall niches, allowing meals to be passed without direct contact between kitchen staff and monks.
