The Chartreuse is built on a strategic height that dominates the valley of the Meuse, which had been occupied by a Carthusian (Chartreux Order) monastery until the French Revolution. The fort was built by the Dutch, who at the time administered southern Belgium. The fort was abandoned as a fortification by the military in 1891 and was thereafter used as a barracks. From 1914 to 1918 the Germans used it as a prison, and again from 1940 to 1944. In 1944-1945 it was used by the Americans as a military hospital. The Belgian army left the site in 1988. The greater part of the fort occupies a green space that is being reforested. The ramparts are covered with vegetation.
