Commanderie de Jalès, Medieval commandry in Berrias-et-Casteljau, France.

The Commanderie de Jalès features three refined apartments on the first floor of its east and west wings, arranged around an interior courtyard.

Founded around 1140 by the Knights Templar, the commandry passed to the Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in the 14th century.

The chapel retains a vaulted semi-circular apse from the 12th century, with a rounded portal and two small Romanesque windows.

The commandry holds a CNRS research unit connected to the Archéorient Laboratory of the Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée in Lyon.

In 1782, Commander Pierre André de Suffren requested a specially notched table to accommodate his large frame during his stays at the commandry.
