Origin and history

Blagny Chapel, located in the eponymous hamlet of the commune of Puligny-Montrachet, is a religious building built in the 15th century. This rectangular monument is distinguished by its structure in coated masonry, reinforced by stone foothills and a stone base. Its sober architecture includes a stone-framed oculus, a rectangular gate and a long-paned roof covered with flat tiles, characteristic of the Burgundy constructions of this period.

Listed among the Historical Monuments, the chapel was inscribed by decree on 9 November 1984, thus protecting its architectural integrity. The cadastre accurately identifies the building under the reference AC 13, confirming its anchoring in the local heritage. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visits, rental, worship), its location at address 8 Blagny, 21190 Puligny-Montrachet is attested, with a geographical accuracy deemed satisfactory (note 7/10).

The historical context of Burgundy in the 15th century, marked by a relative prosperity linked to the wine trade and the power of the Dukes of Burgundy, explains the multiplication of this type of religious buildings. Hamlet chapels, such as Blagny, often served as a place of worship for rural communities, reflecting both medieval piety and social organization around local seigneuries. Their modest architecture contrasts with the great abbeys, but reflects a faith rooted in the daily life of the Burgundy countryside.
