List of Carthusian monasteries

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 119.66.222.37 (talk) at 11:26, 25 November 2016 (→South Korea). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of Carthusian monasteries, or charterhouses, containing both extant and dissolved monasteries of the Order of Saint Bruno for monks and nuns, arranged by location under their present countries. Also listed are the "houses of refuge" used by the communities expelled from France in the early 20th century.

Since the establishment of the Carthusians in 1084 there have been more than 300 monastic foundations,[1] and this list aims to be complete. Dates of foundation and suppression are given where known. The 25 extant charterhouses, 19 for monks and 6 for nuns, are indicated by bold type.
