Gérard de Villers, a knight in the order of the Templars, received the lands of Villers and Clémodeau from the Abbey of Flône in 1260 in exchange for possessions of the Templar order in Haspengouw.
He founded a commandery for the Order on this estate. Upon the dissolution of the Order, the goods all passed into the hands of the Knights Hospitaller of Saint John of Jérusalem (which would become the Order of Malta in 1530).
Only the ramparts and a round tower of the old commandery have been preserved.
