Origin and history

The church Saint-Bénigne de They is a religious monument located in the municipality of Sorans-lès-Breurey, in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or the architectural or historical details that could further characterize it. Village churches, like those of They, played a central role in the life of the rural communities of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, reflecting the local social and religious organization. These buildings were often at the heart of collective activities, employers' holidays and major events in everyday life.
