Charterhouse of the Transfiguration, Vermont

The only Carthusian charterhouse in North America. The Carthusians are one of the strictest Catholic religious orders, often called the “Marines” of the Catholic Church. They practices intense solitude from the world and one another.

The monastery is located on Mount Equinox in Vermont. It’s made out of massive blocks of rough-hewn granite secured by reinforced concrete.
