Commanderie d'Arville, Medieval Templar commandry in Couëtron-au-Perche, France.
The architectural complex includes an entrance gate with two brick cylindrical towers, a church, stables, a tithe barn, and a dovecote dating from various centuries.
Founded in the 12th century by the Knights Templar, this commandry served as a preparation center for crusaders before their departure to the Holy Land.
The museum within the commandry walls presents exhibitions about the Knights Templar, their military operations, and their daily life during medieval times.
The site opens daily from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with admission prices of 6 euros for adults and 3 euros for children between 6 and 12 years old.
The cylindrical dovecote retains all its original nesting boxes and features a cart door entrance, making it a complete example of medieval agricultural architecture.
