Koblenz Charterhouse

It stood on the Beatusberg, a hill that forms the north-easterly tip of the Hunsrück overlooking the city.

The buildings were put to military use and then demolished for the construction of the Prussian Fort Grossfürst Konstantin in 1822–32.

[1] The former charterhouse - German: Kartause - has given its name to the modern district of Karthause, which contains not only the fort but also a prison, a secondary school and the state archives.
