THE HOSPITAL COMMANDERY OF LUGAN

Built by the Order of the Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, now the Order of Malta, this commandery still has a hospital vocation, housing a home for the elderly. After its confiscation during the French Revolution, the site returned to its religious and social vocation, hosting a religious school for girls from 1886 to 1960. The commandery church dates back to the Romanesque period and is listed in the supplementary inventory of historic monuments.
