The Kartause

On Sunday we had a tour of some of the more interesting aspects of the Kartause.

We began the tour with the bell tower of the Church. This is the one and only time we'll be allowed to go up to the belltower. We climbed up a very narrow spiral staircase, up and up and up. We passed the choir loft and continued going up and up and up. We finally got to the first stop on our way to the bell tower. We were standing on top of the ceiling. We had to walk on boards over the domes. Then we got to look down into the church.

Then we headed up a little ways more into the tower in which there was another tower which led to the actual bell. We didn't get to go up there though, it's too dangerous.

We then headed back down, stopped in the choir loft to take a couple pictures, then headed over to the library.
Then we visited the Kartause museum.

And here are some other pictures I took of the Kartause:
