A Charterhouse is a religious community or a monastic establishment, specifically a Carthusian monastery.
Origin:
The term "Charterhouse" originated from the first Carthusian monastery founded in England in 1198, known as "The Chartreuse," which was established in the Surrey countryside, a wilderness area at the time. As other Carthusian monasteries were established in England, they became known collectively as Charterhouses.
Over time, the term "Charterhouse" became synonymous with Carthusian monasteries in general, both in England and abroad. It was also adopted for other religious institutions and educational establishments that were affiliated with or inspired by the Carthusians.
