Greetings,

IIRC, the LO default templates directory is in 
~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/template Looking at Tools > LibreOffice > 
Paths will confirm this and it is the place where it can be changed. The 
Open Desktop standard is in ~/Templates. I added ~/Templates to my LO 
Templates path with a semicolon separator, so my LO searches both places.
