Compesieres Commandry
★★★☆☆
The Compesieres Commandry is the main Commandry of the Order of Malta in the Canton of Geneva. The current castle was built in the 15th Century. It was used by the Order as a hospice for pilgrims, hospital and a military saltpeter factory.
The order continued to hold the Commandry until the 1882, when it was transferred to the municipality of Bardonnex. In 1955, the municipality gave one of the rooms in the castle to the Order of Malta to build a museum.
