Commanderie de Saint-Maurice, Medieval commandery in Régusse, France
The Saint-Maurice Commandery stands near the lower Verdon gorges, featuring a residential building, barn, chapel, and auxiliary structures across its grounds.
Founded around 1160, the commandery received its first documented mention in 1164 when Lord Hugh of Montmeyan joined the Order and donated Camp Long lands.
The commandery served as an administrative center for the Knights Templar, managing territories between Riez, La Verdière, Régusse, Moissac, Montmeyan, and Fox-Amphoux.
The commandery maintained a population of ten brothers, making it larger than other Var commanderies which typically housed fewer than three members.
Saint Marcel's relics, initially buried in La Roquette in 510, were transferred to the commandery in the late 12th century and remained there until 1350.
