Things to see and do

The Templar Commandery Epailly was before being attached to the Order of Malta. Listed historical monument, it was founded in the early thirteenth century and still reveals a beautiful listed chapel. The building was fortified by the Hospitallers between the fourteenth and fifteenth century, becoming a priory room of the Grand Priory of Champagne. Today, outside the chapel, the other buildings have disappeared, giving way to a farm.
