Sainte-Colombe-de-la-Commanderie owes its name to the historical presence of a Templar commandery, which operated in the village in medieval times. During the 12th and 13th centuries, the Knights Templar settled in the region, where they managed agricultural land and protected pilgrims. Although much of the original architecture has disappeared or been modified, the Templar legacy remains palpable in the identity of the village.
