Commanderie de Moisy-le-Temple, Medieval commandry in Montigny-l'Allier, France

Commanderie de Moisy-le-Temple is a private complex of buildings grouped around a courtyard, with a 13th-century Gothic chapel and a 16th-century Renaissance logis flanked by two round towers. The chapel, dedicated to Saint Christopher, has a ribbed vault with four carved keystones and an octagonal stone stair turret at its northwest corner. A partly collapsed ashlar boundary wall runs along the dirt path.

The commandry is first documented in 1184, when Brother Pierre is named preceptor of Moisy; a baillie of Moisy grouped lesser houses such as Compiègne. After the Templars were dissolved in 1312 the site passed to the Knights of Saint John, was united with the Temple in Paris at the end of the 14th century, and was re-established as a commandry in 1633, absorbing the domains of Magny-Saint-Loup, Nanteuil, Boutigny, Montaigu and Trilbardou. It was listed as a monument historique in 1927, with further inscription and classification in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

The chapel honors Saint Christopher and displays early Gothic details with ribbed vaults and floral patterns painted in red on its walls. These decorative elements reflect the skilled craftsmanship typical of medieval religious buildings.

The commandry is a private property at 73 rue de la Commanderie, west of the village, along a dirt path near the Clignon canal. It cannot be visited freely: the buildings and the partly collapsed ashlar boundary wall are seen from the public path outside.

The chapel was converted into a stable: the floor was cemented in its southern half and raised with a pebble pavement in the northern half, and mangers were installed along the north wall, for which the lower parts and bases of the colonnettes were removed. Two niches remain in the south wall, one of them the priest's lavabo.
