In 1167, a famous religious joins the lay brother Thierry. It is the natural son of the Emperor Barbarossa, the latter having given its name to the monastery after his vision of a hand blessing the forest. Thus, the Chartreuse is experiencing a major expansion, to the chagrin of the local population. Indeed, to build their desert (segregation enacted by the rule of Saint Bruno), the Carthusians are expanding their territory through donations stately, discarding the people and demanding new taxes. Carthusian property will be dispersed to the revolution and sold as national property in 1798. The monastery buildings are abandoned and looted. The imposing monastery (now private property) is left only part of the cloister of the seventeenth, the abbot's residence and some outbuildings.

The church was the hamlet of Charpennes where there is always a field named Eglisier. In 1760, residents of several villages obtain the restoration of this parish. The reconstruction of the new church is the hamlet of Pine (mentioned in 1666), the current village center. It will be finished in 1769. The Church of St. Christopher is home to four beautiful paintings. One comes from the ancient monastery of the Silve Bénite.
