Commanderie de Courval, Medieval commandry in Valdallière, France
The Commanderie de Courval stands as a stone complex with arched entrances and high windows in the Calvados region of Normandy.
Established around 1150 by the Knights Templar, the commandry transferred to the Knights Hospitaller in 1312 following the Templar dissolution.
The chapel contains remnants of medieval frescoes and sculptures that reflect the religious practices of medieval military orders in France.
The commandry, acquired by architects in 2021, requires extensive restoration work to preserve its medieval architectural elements.
Local records indicate the presence of a cemetery where Templars were buried according to specific medieval funeral customs.
