History
The Templar commandery of Courval was founded around 1150 by the Vassy family, then transferred in 1307 to the hospitallers brothers of Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem (future Order of Malta), who retained it until the Revolution. The chapel is composed of a Romanesque choir, a nave of the early 13th century, and roof structure of the 15th or 16th century. The chapel was used as a barn until 1991, but has retained its wall paintings of the 15th or 16th centuries.
