Origin and history

The church Saint-Sébastien de Milly is a religious monument located in the commune of Chablis, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its period of construction or its specific architectural or historical details. His name suggests a link with St Sebastian, a Christian martyr often invoked against epidemics, but there is no specific information to support this hypothesis.

In the Chablis region, as in much of Burgundy, local churches played a central role in community life in the Middle Ages and in modern times. They served not only as places of worship, but also as gathering points for the inhabitants, reflecting the social and religious organization of the time. Wine-growing activities, which were very present in this region, also influenced the life of parishes, often supported by the donations of winemakers and local lords.
