eight boxes of books and stained glass taken to Strasbourg. On March 21 of the following year, the monks threw in the towel and renounced common life. On May 1, 1792, the charterhouse was suppressed, the monks dispersed and returned for the most part to their home towns. The buildings were declared national property and used as a prison for political prisoners in 1794. On June 15, 1793 (27 Prairial, Year I), "five altars, two iron fences, 96 pieces of mirror glass in the choir, the prie Dieu stalls and other woodwork" were sold and dispersed, along with the exotic trees in the orangery. The high altar dating from 1672 was sold on 21 May 1793 (2 Prairial Year I) to the municipality of Obernai, which installed it in its parish church. The latter was razed in 1867 to make way for the present-day church of Saints-Pierre-et-Paul; the high altar of the charterhouse was destroyed on this occasion. Similarly, the four large statues of Saints Bruno, John the Baptist, Peter and Paul were acquired by Obernai to embellish the entrance hall of its town hall. Two of the rococo altars from 1769 met the same fate, while the other two were moved to the church of Saint-Antoine in Bernardvillé. The reliquaries were completely stripped of their precious metal covers. The two altars in the sacristy were moved to the church of Saint-Maurice in Bitschhoffen, where they disappeared during the Second World War. On July 14, 1796 (26 Messidor year IV), the buildings were estimated at 50,400 livres, but already in a state of "considerable disrepair", to the point of having lost a third of their value. The Molsheim miller Jean Geoffroy Augst, the collector Alexis Foccart, the Strasbourg merchant Louis Quinon and the notary André Bremsinger signed the deed of sale of the charterhouse on the 18th of the same month. On 5 Fructidor (22 August), the notary transferred his quarter to Augst. At the end of this exchange, Quinon owned the western part: the recipe, stables, and most of the garden. Foccart owned the centre: guest house, greenhouse and the rest of the garden. Finally, Augst acquired the eastern part, including the church, the cells, the prior's house and the kitchen wing. The church was very quickly used as a stone quarry, and the cells were sold as individual houses to private individuals from year VI to year VIII
