Chapel (Box B 51): Order of 11 December 1969

Origin and history

La commanderie de Saulgé is a former Templar Commanderie located in the department of Maine-et-Loire, in the commune of Luigné. This monument, now classified as historical monuments, dates from a medieval period not specified in the available sources. Its architecture and history are linked to the order of the Templars, whose command offices served as religious, economic and military centres throughout Europe.

The building was officially classified by ministerial decree on December 11, 1969, thereby recognizing its heritage value. The chapel of the commandory, identified under cadastre B 51, is the protected element of this site. Today, the commissionory belongs to an association, which suggests a cultural or tourist vocation, although information about its access (visits, accommodation) remains partial.

The exact location of the command office is specified by GPS coordinates, placing it near Brissac Loire Aubance, although its administrative address is officially attached to Luigné. This site is part of a wider network of Templar Commanderies present in the Pays de la Loire, reflecting the historical influence of this order in the region. Available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) confirm its importance, but few details are provided on its specific history or occupants.
