The château de la Commanderie stands in Santeny, in the Val-de-Marne department, on an estate whose history goes back to a land exchange agreed in 1733. Germain-Louis Chauvelin, Keeper of the Seals, gave up his land at Plessis-Pommeraie to the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in order to extend his neighbouring estate of Villecresnes. The resulting property included a château with a farmyard and close to 240 arpents of land, later managed as the commanderie du Plessis.
