Commanderie Saint-Jean, Medieval commandery in Strasbourg, France.
The Commanderie Saint-Jean consists of multiple buildings constructed between the 14th and 18th centuries at 1 rue Sainte-Marguerite in Strasbourg.
The Knights of the Order of Saint John took possession of the complex in the 14th century and established a hospital for patients in 1520.
The facade features a Renaissance trompe l'oeil painting around its central gate, representing the architectural style of the 16th century period.
The site now houses the National School of Administration, with a modern extension added in 2011 that includes a plant-covered facade.
The building served as a prison from 1744 to 1988, before archaeological excavations revealed Gallo-Roman remains and medieval underground galleries.
