Description

People occupied the commandery turned hospital facility for eight centuries straight. The current buildings, which have changed over the course of time, are assembled around a large rectangular courtyard decorated with 13th-century murals where the tithe storehouse, dovecote, commander’s quarters and Sainte-Anne chapel are located.

Its rarity saw it added to the French supplementary historic monument list in 1932 and classed as a Historic Monument in 1994. Nowadays, the site enjoys a considerable amount of public interest.

The commandery is also home to a medieval garden that was recreated in 1993 in partnership with the Yves Rocher Foundation. This 4,000 m² space comprises four square gardens with different themes, including a kitchen garden, cutting garden, medicinal garden and specialised plants.

Discover the ** Knights Templar Commandery** through one of the treasure hunts in the Paris Region Adventures application specially designed for families and downloadable free of charge.

Your visit through the Middle Ages in the Paris Region continues at Provins. This medieval city is listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.
