Knights Templar Chapel, Libdeau
Knights Templar Chapel, Libdeau, Medieval religious commandry in Toul, France.
The Knights Templar Chapel in Libdeau is a medieval religious commandry built in the 13th century with Gothic architectural features, including a rectangular floor plan and surviving remnants of original wall frescoes. The structure displays the practical building style typical of such military religious compounds.
The commandry was founded before 1190 as a regional base for the Templar Order. After Pope Clement V dissolved the Templars in 1312, this site passed to the Knights Hospitaller.
The name Libdeau comes from the Latin term 'liberum donum', meaning a freely given gift, which reflects how medieval landowners donated estates to military religious orders. This practice helped sustain important institutions across the region.
Visits require advance arrangement because the building has been undergoing restoration work since 2011. Contact the site or local tourism office to arrange your visit in advance.
Several original items from the chapel, including a Gothic portal and tombstones, are now displayed at the Palace of the Dukes of Lorraine in Nancy. These pieces tell the site's story in another location today.
