Commanderie de Passy-Grigny, Templar commandry in Passy-Grigny, France

The Commanderie de Passy-Grigny, also called the Ferme du Temple, stands halfway between Passy-Grigny and Anthenay at the edge of the Montagne de Reims regional park. Its buildings form a double square at the bottom of a small valley, with a spring inside the enclosure and a pond along its edge. The chapel is heavily degraded: its gable wall shows a broken pointed arch with rubble inside and a small rounded opening below the apex, while a tall arched window on the side wall is filled with a flat pale panel.

The site was founded before 1229 by the Templars to manage their estates in the region. When the Templar order was dissolved in 1312, the Hospitallers took over and continued operating it.

The name Passy derives from Paci, the form used in the medieval charters. The site is still a working farm and gîte, with a spring inside the enclosure and a pond at its edge. The chapel, now much degraded, survives within the double square of buildings at the bottom of the valley.

The farm and gîte lie halfway between Passy-Grigny and Anthenay, at the edge of the Parc naturel régional de la Montagne de Reims. The buildings form a double square at the bottom of a small valley, with a spring inside the enclosure and a pond along its edge. The chapel is much decayed, so it is seen from outside.

The commandry once controlled vast land holdings with fields and forests that were essential to feed many people in the region. These large properties reveal how influential religious orders were in medieval economics and land management.
