Origin and history

Mont-de-Soissons is a Templar monument located in Serches, in the department of Aisne. Founded in the 13th century, it is based on earlier gifts, including those of Gauthier, bishop of Soissons in 1133, and d'Ansculfe in 1157. These property was completed in 1158 by Agnes and Robert, Count of Braine, who gave up their lands of Vaubrelain. Passy-Grigny's command office was attached to it.

After the dissolution of the Order of the Temple at the beginning of the 14th century, the Hospitallers of Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem took over the site and integrated it into their Maupas estate. The monument, which includes a chapel, a house body and a 13th century barn, was inscribed in historical monuments by order of 3 June 1927. The archives of the Templars' trial mention brothers received on the spot, such as Gautier de Bailleul and Egidius d'Espernaut, the latter being also preceptor of Ambrief.

Historical sources point to the administrative and religious role of the commandary, typical of Templar settlements in Picardia. Its architecture, partially preserved, bears witness to its medieval importance. Today, the site remains a major vestige of the Templar and hospitable heritage in the Hauts-de-France.
