A victim of numerous fires and assaults
0
0
Located a few kilometers from Collobrières in the middle of the cork oaks and chestnut trees of the Maures Massif forest, the Chartreuse de la Verne was burnt down on several occasions, notably in 1214, 1271, and 1318. The fire destroyed all the buildings except the central Romanesque church consecrated on October 3, 1174. The monastery also suffered numerous assaults (looters, neighboring lords, Saracens, French Wars of Religion, attacks by the Duke of Savoy's army against the troops of Louis XIV during the siege of Toulon) to which the vault of the church did not resist. The 1790 official report following the confiscation of the goods of the Charterhouse thus indicated that the service was not carried out in the church, destroyed two centuries ago, but in a large chapel with a sanctuary paved with blue and white marble.
