Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Commandery of Libdeau is a former Knights Templar commandery, founded before 1190. It is at Toul, in Lorraine, in the present Grand Est region of France.
History
It became a Knights Hospitaller commandery following the dissolution of the Order of the Temple in 1312 by Pope Clement V at the Council of Vienne.
During the French Revolution, it was nationalized by the state and sold as a bien national in July 1794.
Buildings
The only remaining buildings of the commandery of Libdeau are the gothic chapel, at Libdeau dating from the first quarter of the 13th century, and a 17th century townhouse situated in the city of Toul.
The gothic portal of the chapel and several ledger stones coming from Libdeau have been kept since the 1960s at the Palace of the Dukes of Lorraine, home of the Musée Lorrain in Nancy.
The other buildings of the commandery were rebuilt after the Thirty Years' War and are now used for housing and farming.
Protection
The chapel and its plot of land have been registered as French national heritage since 1995.
An association has launched a rescue and renovation scheme since 2011, with the support, among many other members and contributors, of the French heritage foundations La Sauvegarde de l'Art français and Fondation du Patrimoine.
