The Ministère de la Culture's notice

De l'ancienne commanderie subsiste une partie des élévations de l'église, datées des 12e et 13e siècles (citée pour la première fois en 1155). Les autres bâtiments ont disparu, leurs fondations étant sans doute encore en place. A la suppression de l'ordre des Templiers, en 1314, la commanderie est reprise par l'Ordre de Jérusalem. A la fin du 15e siècle, Lus est unie à une commanderie du Valdrôme.

Of the former commandery there remains part of the elevations of the church, dated to the 12th and 13th centuries (mentioned for the first time in 1155). The other buildings have disappeared, their foundations being doubtless still in place. On the suppression of the order of the Templars in 1314, the commandery is taken over by the Order of Jerusalem. At the end of the 15th century, Lus is united with a commandery of the Valdrôme.
