The Templar commandery of Mondoubleau (or Temple-lez-Mondoubleau) was already active in 1134, when an agreement was signed there between Geoffroy III, Viscount of Châteaudun, and the Abbey of La Trinité of Vendôme. Geoffroy probably played a role in its foundation. Mondoubleau maintained close links with the nearby commandery of Arville (Loir-et-Cher), which was associated with that of Sours (Eure-et-Loir), and the two establishments probably shared a common origin.
After the suppression of the Order of the Temple, its possessions passed to the Hospitallers. The commandery remained linked to that of Arville. The parish church, built during the Templar period (12th century), has been preserved. It is dedicated to the Nativité de Marie. The building has a rectangular plan and a 15th-century bell tower attached to its south façade. Remains of other commandery buildings are also preserved.
