Nowadays, the Chartreuse is off limits to visitors, and visiting motor vehicles are prohibited on the surrounding roads. However, about two kilometers away stands a museum of the Carthusian order and the lives of its monks and nuns. The order is supported by the sales of Chartreuse liqueur. It was closed in 1903 by the French state, the monks found refuge in Italy until 1929, but returned in 1940. A documentary about the monastery, Into Great Silence, was made in 2004, to great acclaim in the film festival circuit.

  • De Grande Chartreuse is het moederklooster van de orde van de Kartuizers. Het klooster ligt in de gemeente Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, midden in het Chartreuser gebergte, ten noorden van de stad Grenoble in Frankrijk. Het klooster werd in 1084 gesticht door de Duitse heilige Bruno van Keulen. De productie van likeur (Chartreuse) is een bron van inkomsten. Het klooster is niet te bezoeken. Wel is er op 2 km afstand een museum, gewijd aan de kartuizers en het klooster. In 2005 verscheen de documentaire film Die große Stille, over het leven van de monniken in het klooster.

  • Nowadays, the Chartreuse is off limits to visitors, and visiting motor vehicles are prohibited on the surrounding roads. However, about two kilometers away stands a museum of the Carthusian order and the lives of its monks and nuns. The order is supported by the sales of Chartreuse liqueur. Famously, English poet Matthew Arnold wrote one of his finest poems, Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse while staying at the monastery briefly. The quiet, serenity, and piety of the place contrasted with what he saw as the violent emerging age of machinery, and the monastic calm became, for him, the susurrations of a dying world. The Grand Chartreuse was also written about in the 1850 revision of William Wordsworth's The Prelude, Book VI, lines 416-88, (Wordsworth visited the monastery in 1790) and John Ruskin's Praeterita. It was closed in 1903 by the French state, the monks found refuge in Italy until 1929, but returned in 1940. A documentary about the monastery, Into Great Silence, was made in 2004, to great acclaim in the film festival circuit.
