ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Chartreuse de Neuville, a series of pictures from autumn 2018. Founded in 1325 and located near Montreuil-sur-Mer in the French Picardy region, the Carthusian monastery has an eventful past as a spiritual centre with an important library and printing works, but it has also repeatedly experienced war turmoil, devastation and looting. In the course of the French Revolution, it finally fell to the state. Later it served as a storage facility, artists' colony, sanatorium and hospital (under Belgian administration during the First World War), among other things, in order to be abandoned to vacancy and gradual decay in the more recent past.
