Commanderie de Baugy, Medieval commandry in Planquery, France

The Baugy Commandry features a 13th-century chapel with massive buttresses and foundations of a former manor house near Bayeux in Normandy.

Founded in 1148 by Roger III Bacon, the commandry operated until October 1307 when the Templars were arrested by Jean de Verretot, bailiff of Caen.

The interior of the chapel contains the damaged tomb effigy of Brother Richard d'Harcourt and a carved tympanum depicting the Lamb of Christ.

The commandry stands on private property approximately 16 kilometers southwest of Bayeux and 20 kilometers northeast of Saint-Lô in Calvados.

The agricultural inventory from 1307 reveals the commandry functioned as a large farm with numerous livestock and agricultural workers maintaining the estate.
