    This Romanesque church built at the end of the 12th century belonged to the Knights of Malta, successors of the Templars. It was once the central element of the Commandery of the Templars. This estate also had a manor house, the Plessard mill, cultivated land and a cemetery.

      This chapel is the remaining remnant of a commandery (a branch of the order) of the community often referred to as the "Order of the Templars" or "Knights Templar", whose full name is "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem". The association gained notoriety due to the fact that in 1312 this order was dissolved by the French king and the pope and many members were burned at the stake as alleged heretics. The main reason for the dissolution was not the human and religious misconduct/heresy of the members, which was claimed as the motive, but the legendary wealth of this order. With his meticulously planned approach, King Philip IV of France primarily wanted to secure their possessions in order to improve his coffers.
