Chartreuse du Liget

Le Liget Charterhouse (Chartreuse du Liget) was a Carthusian monastery, or charterhouse, in Chemillé-sur-Indrois, Indre-et-Loire, France, founded in 1178 in Touraine by Henry II, Count of Anjou and King of England, possibly in atonement for the murder of Thomas Becket (Archbishop of Canterbury) committed by his order. There are only a few remains of the medieval monastery, which was ruined in the Hundred Years War and again in the French Wars of Religion. Rebuilt at the end of the Ancien Régime, it was largely demolished in the French Revolution. The remains of the monastery structures are registered or listed as a monument historique (including the grounds of a former monastery wall and corner towers, remains of the church and cloister roof joint). The Corroirie, the fortified gate, the chapel and the old prison were the subjects of an entry in the inventory of monuments historiques of 7 September 1926. The Chapel of Saint-Jean-du-Liget was listed as a monument historique in 1862.
