Maison des Templiers, Medieval commandry in Douai, France.

Maison des Templiers is a red brick building with a stepped gable and a large pointed archway framed in light grey stone. The open wooden door reveals a cobbled passage, and a square stone plaque with a carved symbol sits above the arch. A smaller pointed arch with wooden doors and a stone niche stands to the right.

The Knights Templar established this commandry during the medieval period to support their administrative and religious activities in the region. The building received official protection as a classified historical monument in 1928.

Above the main arch, a stone plaque on the brick facade carries a carved symbol; the arms of François de la Rue, the last commander of the Cobrieux commandry before the Revolution, are placed above the door. The house was sold as national property during the Revolution and turned into a farm.
