Commanderie de Villemoison, Medieval commandry in Saint-Père, France.

The Commanderie de Villemoison features a 12th-century chapel with eastern-facing apse and a L-shaped knights' residence surrounding a stair tower.

Following the dissolution of the Knights Templar in 1312, the commandry transferred to the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem.

The chapel contains medieval frescoes depicting Christ with evangelists, while capitals display floral decorations characteristic of religious military architecture.

Located at 17 Rue de la Commanderie in Saint-Père, the monument includes protected elements such as chapel, prior's building facades, and barn structures.

The knights' residence contains oversized windows that flood the interior spaces with natural light, departing from typical medieval defensive architecture.
