Commanderie de Saint-Étienne-de-Renneville, Medieval commandery in Sainte-Colombe-la-Commanderie, France

The commandery includes several buildings, including a large barn with an extensive timber frame supported by two rows of pillars forming a nave and side aisles.

Richard of Harcourt established the Templar commandery around 1140, which later transferred to the Knights Hospitaller after the Templar order dissolution in 1307.

The site maintains architectural elements from both Romanesque and Gothic periods, reflecting the evolution of religious military architecture in medieval Normandy.

The commandery opens from July 1st to September 5th, Monday through Thursday, offering guided tours every hour between 1 PM and 6 PM.

The building complex features an 18th-century bakery containing three bread ovens, demonstrating the self-sufficiency of medieval religious military establishments.
