Commanderie de Beaune, Medieval commandry in Beaune, France
The Commanderie de Beaune stands at the intersection of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Jacques and Rue Jacques de Molay, featuring a stone chapel and fortified walls.
Founded before 1177 by the Knights Templar, the commandry received numerous land donations until its seizure by King Philip IV of France in 1307.
The commandry served as an initiation site for Templar knights, including Jacques de Molay, who later became the last Grand Master of the order.
The remaining chapel of the commandry sits within a neighborhood renovated in the 1990s, with a commemorative plaque marking its historical significance.
During the 16th century, the buildings of the former Templar commandry were converted into a hospital specifically dedicated to plague victims.
