Commanderie des Andrivaux, Medieval commandry in Chancelade, France.

The Commanderie des Andrivaux stands at the intersection of the Templars Path and Andrivaux Road, featuring a crypt with three windows.

Founded in 1139 by Bishop Geoffroy de Cauze of Périgueux, the commandry transferred to the Knights Hospitaller after the Templars dissolution in 1307.

The basement contains a coat of arms with three fleurs-de-lis, representing the Pope for faith, the King for wisdom, and the Temple for knighthood.

The former commandry now operates as a seasonal rental property with three separate buildings: the main house, the pavilion, and the farmhouse.

The site originated as a Benedictine nunnery around the year 1000 before becoming the most important Templar commandry in the Périgord region.
