Eglise de Saint-Laurent

Former Commandery of the Hospitallers of Jerusalem.

In the 13th century, the Order of the Hospitallers of Jerusalem had possessions in Saint-Laurent, including the church. These properties had been donated towards the end of the 12th century by the Vicomte de Broquiès and other small lords. Around 1160, the original center of the Commanderie des Hospitaliers de Martrin was located in St. Laurent. The church and the nearby Hospitaller cross are the last remaining evidence of this medieval period. Rebuilt in the 15th century, the church remained a parish church until the early 19th century; the bell tower was restored in the 1990s.

The original St. Laurent cross is in the Plaisance church.
