    A cloistered Carthusian monastery (charterhouse) nicely surrounded by a quiet farmland, preserved from the caos of everyday life. For this reason it's a nice place for an enjoyable pic-nic on the meadows nearby after a walk or bicycle ride. The charterhouse was founded in the early 14th century. In September 1944, monks from the charterhouse opened their doors to nazi troops from the 16th SS Panzergrenadier Division, who said they came bearing gifts for the abbey. They broke into the monastery to arrest 32 partisans and Jews being sheltered in the monastery. Some of the refugees were able to escape. Six monks and six lay brothers were arrested, tortured, and killed by nazi firing squad.
