Chapelle Saint-Sébastien : inscription by order of 1 December 1980
Origin and history
The Saint-Sébastien chapel of Bonneval-sur-Arc is a religious building located in the Alpine commune of Bonneval-sur-Arc, Savoie. This monument, inscribed in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 1 December 1980, bears witness to architecture and local devotion, although details of its period of construction or its precise history are not explicitly mentioned in the available sources. Bonneval-sur-Arc, a mountain village located in Haute-Maurienne, has long lived at the pace of pastoral and agricultural activities, typical of the Alpine valleys.
The chapels, like that dedicated to Saint Sebastian, often played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, gathering and spiritual protection for the inhabitants. Their presence reflects the importance of religion in the social and cultural organization of Savoyard villages throughout the centuries.
