Commanderie de Neuilly-sous-Clermont, commandry located in Oise, in France
The Commanderie de Neuilly-sous-Clermont is a stone fortified manor in northern France, dating from the 1100s and showing both medieval and Renaissance architectural styles. The site includes a main residence, a chapel with vaulted rooms, storage cellars, and carefully designed gardens established since the 1960s.
The commandery was founded in the late 1100s as an important Templar stronghold in the Clermontois region. After the Templars were dissolved in 1312, it passed to the Order of Saint-Jean de Jérusalem and was rebuilt into its present form during the Renaissance.
The commandery served as a center for religious and military life during the medieval period. Visitors today can see the chapel with its wall paintings from the 1300s and understand how these spaces shaped the daily routines of the monks and knights who lived here.
The site is accessible via rue de la Commanderie with free entry to outdoor areas and gardens. Indoor guided tours lasting about an hour and a half require advance booking, and parking is available nearby.
The chapel preserves wall paintings from the 1300s that offer rare insights into medieval artistic traditions. These well-kept frescoes are found on the grounds of an otherwise overlooked site, making it a hidden treasure for art historians and curious visitors.
