La Chartreuse de Neuville-sous-Montreuil
History of the Charterhouse of Neuville
This story begins almost 700 years ago when the Count of Boulogne founded a monastery at the foot of the ramparts of Montreuil-sur-mer. The monastic destiny that had made this building the General Printing Office of the Carthusian Order came to an end at the beginning of the 20th century. The monks give way to a cultural phalanstery.
In 1914, the largest Belgian civilian hospital in Europe moved into the walls.
The last major change saw the premises accommodate the hospice-asylum of the Center Hospitalier de l'Arrondissement Montreuil-sur-mer (CHAM), from 1950 to 1998. In the early 2000s, the sisters of Bethlehem then temporarily restored a religious vocation to the Charterhouse. Since 2008, a new destiny has been built around a private-public-associative partnership.
