Near Charmes, in the Vosges, the commandery of Xugney (today in the commune of Rugney) was founded by the Templars in the second half of the 12th century. Its church, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, is the only building of the commandery to have come down to us. After the dissolution of the order, the commandery was handed over in 1314 to the Hospitallers, who at times managed it jointly with that of Libdeau — in the 17th century, Charles of Lorraine leased the two establishments together for six years. An archaeological survey of the chapel was carried out in 2011 by the archaeologist Cédric Moulis.
