Abbaye de Mormant, Medieval Templar commandery in Leffonds, France

The Maison-Dieu of Mormant consists of a vaulted hospital-church building with remains still visible despite alterations through centuries.

Founded between 1095 and 1099 during the First Crusade, Hugues Bardoul II of Broyes-Châteauvillain established this institution to shelter pilgrims and assist those in need.

The site stands along the Via Francigena, a major European cultural route recognized by the Council of Europe connecting northern Europe to Rome.

The site offers a 400-meter tourist circuit throughout the year, with guided tours available for groups of four or more people by email reservation.

The commandery represents one of the few remaining examples of medieval pilgrim accommodation facilities in France, earning historical monument status in 1989.
