'''Ilmbach Charterhouse''', also '''Mariengarten Charterhouse''' ({{langx|de|Kloster}} or ''Kartause Ilmbach''; ''Kartause Mariengarten''), is a former [[Carthusian]] monastery, or charterhouse, in [[Prichsenstadt]] in [[Bavaria]], Germany.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The monastery, dedicated to Our Lady, was founded in 1453 by the knight Balthasar Fere vom Berge and his wife Magdalena von Vestenberg. It was burnt down in 1525 during the [[German Peasants' War|Peasants' War]] but was rebuilt and reoccupied within two years with the help of the [[Bishop of Würzburg]].<br />
<br />
It was dissolved in 1803 in the [[German mediatisation|secularisation of Bavaria]].<br />
<br />
The property was purchased by Baron Friedel, who installed a cheese factory and a sugar factory in the premises. In 1836 there were still remains of the monastery church, but these have disappeared. On the site of the charterhouse a hunting lodge was later constructed.<ref>[http://www.hdbg.eu/kloster/index.php/detail/geschichte?id=KS0151 Klöster in Bayern: Ilmbach – Schweigende Mönche im Mariengarten]</ref><br />
<br />
The only structural survival is the main entrance gateway, built of sandstone in the 17th century. At the dissolution a local farmer moved it to his farm in [[Gräfenneuses]] in [[Geiselwind]] near [[Bamberg]], where it still stands.<ref>[https://www.coatinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hephaistos_01-2020_cwu_ilmbacher-tor-1_.pdf Coatinc.com: "Coatinc Würzburg veredelt das Tor von Ilmbach" in ''Hephaistos'' 2020/1] (description of the restoration of the gate)</ref><br />
