Grande Chartreuse

A charterhouse (French: Chartreuse, German: Kartause, Italian: Certosa, Spanish: Cartuja) is a monastery of Carthusian monks. The English word is derived by phono-semantic matching from the French word Chartreuse. The first monastery of the order was established at Grande Chartreuse, in a valley of the Chartreuse Mountains, in 1084 by St Bruno of Cologne; but the English name wrongly suggests that the order was created by charter, a grant of legal rights by a high authority.
