The charterhouse founded when Martin the Humane granted the royal estates of Valldemossa to the monks in 1399, where James II had built a palace for his son Sancho, and which the Carthusians inhabited until 1835. Its church, in the Neoclassical style, was begun in 1751 over the earlier one of 1446. Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838 to 1839 in one of the cells; the complex is visited together with its municipal museum.
