The Commanderie Templière de Villemoison and its chapel date from the 12th century. The Templars remained there until the abolition of the Order in 1307. The Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John succeeded them and remained there until the Revolution. At that time, the buildings were confiscated, sold and turned into a farm until 1966. Since then, restorations have been carried out; the additions have been demolished to clear the 3 Templar buildings
