About the monument :
An original testimony to our tumultuous religious past, the Arville Commandery is one of the best preserved domains of the Knights Templar in France (12th-15th-16th centuries). On the spot, a unique museum: a concrete, living evocation of the epic of the Order of the Temple and, with its exceptional layout, it lets you experience the atmosphere of the life of the Knights Templar. Also, a medieval garden.

Visits: self visit (domain + garden or domain + garden + museum) and visit with tape guide (English, German, Spanish).
