Chartreuse Notre-Dame des Prés

The Chartreuse Notre-Dame des Prés was a Carthusian monastery (Charterhouse) in northern France, at Neuville-sous-Montreuil, in the Diocese of Arras, now Pas-de-Calais.

In 1542 the monastery was again wrecked by the Imperial troops and in the wars of religion fresh troubles attended the community.

Finally the house was rebuilt by Bernard Bruyant in the latter part of the seventeenth century and remained undisturbed until the French Revolution.

Eighty-two years later the Carthusians repurchased a portion of their old estate and the first stone of the new monastery was laid on 2 April 1872.

Montreuil took a special position among Carthusian houses, owing to the establishment there of a printing press from which has been issued a number of works connected with the order.
