After a visit to the Grande-Chartreuse in the Dauphiné, Odo, abbot of the Abbaye Saint-Remi in Reims, founded the first Carthusian monastery in France in 1132. It covered more than 12 hectares and was surrounded by a triple wall. The monastery, so close to Protestant Sedan, suffered during the religious wars, served as a prison during the French Revolution and was then partially demolished. In the open space at the foot of the Crêtes de l'Argonne there are eight sober 17th century buildings made of pink brick, with natural stone frames on doors and windows. It is all that remains of the former monastery.

The citadel is one of the oldest examples of French fortifications and could accommodate 4,000 soldiers. For five centuries, the fortress was strategically located between France and the Holy Roman Empire (and then Prussia and Germany) and was therefore constantly provided with new fortifications and thicker walls, while the existing structure was preserved. Wall 30 m high and up to 7.20 m thick with 4 bastions.
