Happy Sliders' Sunday!
Seen on N57 Holland.
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled King composing "Hallelujah"
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah...

Vista de les teulades de la Grande Chartreuse. A la dreta, el nucli central amb l'església, claustre menor i refetor. A la esquerra, les cel·les o "deserts" alineades com casetes al llarg dels claustres majors, que es veuen parcialment.
Situada en un arreserat i tranquil vall dels Alps francesos, dins el massis del mateix nom i al nord de Grenoble, la cartoixa de la Grande Chartreuse té molta fama, tant religiosa com pel famós licor que produeix. Fou fundada per Sant Brú el 1084 (tot i que en el lloc actual només el 1132). Però amb tot, no es pot visitar mai per dintre, només fins als murs perimetrals. Així i tot la visita val la pena pel seu entorn natural privilegiat.
La Gran Chartreuse és el nucli originari de totes les cartoixes del món, i on es reuneix el "Capitol General" cada dos anys. El prior de Grande Chartreuse és alhora el cap de tota l'ordre.
Les cartoixes tenen una estructura arquitectonica única, i es que els monjos (i monjes) no dormen en un dormitori o cel·les, sino que la majoria dormen (i viuen en solitud) en petits xalets amb el seu propi taller i pati completament aillats del món exterior. De fet, els cartuixos viuen tota la setmana en silenci i solitud, i només es troben per les mises i el diumege per menjar en comunitat i unes hores de trobada i fins i tot xerrada. Tot això ho dic des del meu agnosticisme/ateisme més complert, eh? Però així i tot i tinc certa fascinació per aquest estil de vida tant allunyat de la vida usual i atabalada que portem.
Ah, això si, hi ha cartuixos que si que viuen en comunitat i que fan les feines per a poder mantenir l'aillament quasi total dels altres: cuina, manteniments, horts, etc...
Ah, i com a final, dir que tot i la aparent pau i silenci inalterat de la Gran Chartreuse, aquesta patí diversos incendis des de la edat mijana que requeriren importants reconstruccions (bona part dels edificis són del ségle XVII) i a sobre dues expulsion forçades: del 1790 al 1816 i del 1903 al 1940.

===============================
The roofs of Grande Chartreuse charterhouse. To the right, the nucleus with the church and refectory, and to the left, the long line of eremitic cells, each with it's own garden, one for each monk. You can even see a bit of the great cloister. Considering it's closed to visits, this is the most you are going to see of it.
Located in a secluded and quiet valley of the French Alps, within the massif of the same name and north of Grenoble, the abbey of Grand Chartreuse has a lot of fame, both religiously and for the famous liquor it produces. It was founded by St. Bruno in 1084, though in the current site only in 1132. However, you can never visit the inside, only up to the perimeter walls. Even so, the visit is worth it for its privileged natural environment.
The Grande Chartreuse is the origin of the entire Carthusian order, and where the "General Capitol" meets every two years. The prior of Grande Chartreuse is at the same time the head of the entire order.
The Carthusian monasteries have a unique architectural structure, namely that the monks (and nuns) do not sleep in a dormitory or cells, but most sleep (and live in solitude) in small chalets with their own completely isolated workshop and courtyard of the outside world. In fact, the Carthusians live all week in silence and solitude, and only meet for mass and Sunday to eat together and have a few hours of meeting and even chatting. I say all this from my most complete agnosticism/atheism, But even so, I have a certain fascination for this lifestyle so far removed from the usual and burdened life we lead.
Also, there are monks who do live in community and who do the jobs to be able to maintain the almost total isolation from the others: kitchen, maintenance, gardens, etc...
Oh, and finally, to say that despite the apparent peace and unaltered silence of the Grand Chartreuse, it has suffered several fires since the Middle Ages that required major reconstructions (many of the buildings are from the 17th century) and on top of that two forced evictions : from 1790 to 1816 and from 1903 to 1940.
