Charterhouse of the Reposoir

Monument in Le Reposoir

A former Carthusian monastery located in Haute-Savoie, the Chartreuse du Reposoir takes place in the heart of the Arve Valley, in a wooded circus at the edge of a lake. Founded in the mid-12th century by the Carthusian Blessed John of Spain, the building is now listed as a Historical Monument. Since the early 1930s, it hosts a community of Carmelite nuns.

Heavily damaged by the harsh mountain climate, the buildings underwent a first restoration in the course of the 17th century. Annex to the saltpeter Cluses during the French Revolution, the Chartreuse du Reposoir again became a religious site in the nineteenth century. It consists of a square installed in the heart of an enclosure. You can admire a cloister that goes around all the houses of the Chartreux Fathers. It is still possible to see today the old cells of the monks, the large and small cloister of Flamboyant Gothic style, the harmonious chapel or the common rooms.
