Commanderie d'Avalleur, Medieval commandry in Bar-sur-Seine, France.
The Commandery of Avalleur stands on a plateau overlooking Bar-sur-Seine, featuring a rectangular chapel with Gothic interior and Romanesque exterior elements.
The Templars received the land before 1142, established the commandry around 1167, and maintained it until their dissolution in 1312, when it transferred to the Hospitallers.
The chapel, classified as a historical monument since 1921, contains painted decorations and a wooden framework that represents Templar architectural traditions in Eastern France.
Located at Hameau d'Avalleur in Bar-sur-Seine, the site opens from May to October, Tuesday through Sunday, between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
The commandry walls retain their original 12th-century construction, making it one of the few intact Templar establishments remaining in France.
