Commanderie d'Arveyres, Medieval commandry in Arveyres, France.
The stone buildings of the Commanderie d'Arveyres stand on a promontory overlooking a bend in the Dordogne River, 5 kilometers from Libourne.
Founded in 1153, this Templar establishment transferred to the Knights Hospitaller in 1318, maintaining control over local justice and territory until the French Revolution.
The commandry operated as a religious center, managing agricultural lands while providing shelter for pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela.
The 4-hectare site contains remains of fortified buildings, wine cellars, and a modern house, with regular heritage events organized by local volunteers.
A medieval garden, designed in the shape of a Maltese Cross, was established in 2017 to showcase historical medicinal and vegetable plants.
