Established 2 km away from the museum, the Monastery is completely devoted to silence and the monks are devoted to pray. This place can not be visited.

In 1080, Bruno and six companions asked the bishop of Grenoble for a desert in the mountains of his diocese. He erected a small hermitage at St Pierre de Chartreuse, which was to become the cradle of a great contemplative order. The first monastery was built at Notre Dame de Casalibus in 1084, and was swept away by an avalanche in 1132. The present church and monastery were consecrated in 1133. The monastery is not open to the public, but a short walk leads to a viewpoint overlooking the entire complex. A museum is located in the Correrie.
