The commandery of Saint-Jean-des-Prés, attached to the order of the Hospitallers of Saint-John of Jerusalem, was founded in 1154. The only building preserved is the church, which has a Romanesque nave of the 12th century and a choir of the 14th-15th centuries, fitted out in the 19th century as a dwelling on three levels. The vault was replaced in the 17th century by a roof structure. Currently, the church is deconsecrated. The conventual buildings of the 15th century were demolished in 1970.
