A charterhouse (French: chartreuse; German: Kartause; Italian: certosa; Portuguese: cartuxa; Spanish: cartuja) is a monastery of Carthusian monks. The English word is derived by phono-semantic matching from the French word chartreuse[1] and it is therefore sometimes misunderstood to indicate that the houses were created by charter, a grant of legal rights by a high authority.
