Commanderie de la Romagne, Medieval commandry in Saint-Maurice-sur-Vingeanne, France

The Commanderie de la Romagne is a former Templar commandry in Saint-Maurice-sur-Vingeanne, Burgundy, rebuilt and fortified at the end of the 15th century by the Hospitallers. The complex has a rectangular stone building with a tall chimney, two round towers with conical tiled roofs, and a low stone wall with a metal gate. The 'ancien château' has been classified as a monument historique since 25 June 1962.

In 1144 Jean de Courchamp donated land to the Templars, and in 1167 the bishop of Langres gave them half the church of Saint-Maurice and half the tithe on grain and wine. Guy de Vergy added land near Autrey-lès-Gray in 1191, and Agnès de Saint-Maurice gave the village oven and mill in 1227. After the Templars' fall, the commandry passed to the Hospitallers, who refortified it at the end of the 15th century under commander Pierre de Bosredon.

The name La Romagne refers to the commandry's role in the Templars' settlement of Franche-Comté. In 1227 Agnès de Saint-Maurice gave the Templars the village oven and mill, and the commandry also held the banal mill and the church of Saint-Maurice-sur-Vingeanne. The 15th-century rebuilding by commander Pierre de Bosredon left the round towers and gate visible today.

The site is best explored on foot, allowing time to examine the fortifications and building details thoroughly. It is helpful to check beforehand what visiting options or guided tours are available.

The 15th-century fortifications and later alterations make it impossible to reconstruct the Templar buildings; nothing survives from that period. The surviving complex, called the "ancien château", was classified as a monument historique on 25 June 1962.
