Commanderie de Paulhac

Commanderie de Paulhac, Medieval commandry in Fursac, France.

Commanderie de Paulhac is a former Templar and Hospitaller commandry in the village of Paulhac, part of Saint-Étienne-de-Fursac in the Creuse. Of the complex, only the church of the Décollation-de-Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the chapel Saint-Fiacre, built in 1449, remain; both were listed as monuments historiques on 19 February 1938. The church mixes Gothic arches with Romanesque interiors, and fragments of late-13th-century wall paintings are still visible on the bays and vaults.

Founded around 1200 as a Templar commandry, it transferred to the Knights Hospitaller in 1312 after the Templars were suppressed. This transition shaped its existence as a Hospitaller property for centuries to come.

The church is dedicated to the Decollation of Saint John the Baptist, and the chapel Saint-Fiacre was built in 1449; both were listed as monuments historiques on 19 February 1938. Chapters of the Templar province were held here by masters Gérard de Sauzet, Pierre de Madic and Raymond de Mareuil between 1284 and 1299.

The church of the Décollation-de-Saint-Jean-Baptiste and the Saint-Fiacre chapel, built in 1449, are the two surviving parts of the commandry, both listed as monuments historiques since 19 February 1938. The 13th-century wall paintings on the bays and vaults were restored in 1971 and again between 1982 and 1991, and the source notes they still need further restoration work.
