Erfurt Charterhouse

Erfurt Charterhouse (German: Kartäuserkloster Erfurt, Kartäuserkloster St. Salvatorberg; Latin: Domus montis Sancti Salvatoris) is a former charterhouse, or Carthusian monastery, in Erfurt, Thuringia, Germany.

It was founded in the 1370s: building works began in 1372[1] and the monastery was accepted into the Carthusian Order in 1374.

It was looted in the Peasants' War, the Thirty Years' War and finally at secularisation in 1803, and nothing survived of its once-substantial treasury.

[3] The original Gothic buildings (cloisters, cells, chapter room and chapel) were much augmented by Baroque construction in the 18th century.

The church survives but was radically converted to residential use in 2012.
