[FR] En y regardant de plus près sur cette butte, on peut encore voir des fondations de murs ainsi qu'un pan de mur isolé qui étaient sans doute les soubassements des bâtiments de la commanderie.

En 1130-1131, lorsque le comte de Barcelone et vicomte de Carlat Raymond Berenger III désire s'affilier à l'Ordre du Temple juste avant de mourir, il fait plusieurs dons à l'Ordre. Au nombre de ceux-ci, se trouve la moitié de la chatellenie de La Garda.


A cet emplacement, les templiers vont édifier une importante commanderie fortifiée qui était composée d'un manoir, d'une chapelle, de deux moulins dont un se trouvait dans le village voisin de Jabrun qui appartenait en entier à l'Ordre du Temple et de plusieurs hectares de bois et paturages aux alentours.

La commanderie à été donnée aux Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem après le procès des Templiers, en 1312.

[EN] Looking closer on the hill, one can still see the foundations of walls as well as a portion of wall still standing which were probably the basement of the commandery buildings.

In 1130-1131, when the count of Barcelona, Raymond Berenger III wished to become affiliated with the Order of the Temple just before his death, he made several gifts to the Order. Among them, half of the lordship of La Garda.

At this location, the Templars would build a large fortified commandery which was composed of a manor, a chapel, and two mills of which one was located in the neighboring village of Jabrun which belonged entirely to the Order of the Tempel and several hectars of woods and pasture in the vicinity.
