Origin and history

The Church of Saint Sebastian in Perthes is a religious building built in the 4th quarter of the 13th century. Located in the commune of Perthes, Haute-Marne, it has been listed as a Historic Monument since 9 July 1909. This classification protects the entire building, which now belongs to the municipality. Its architecture reflects the stylistic features of the late Middle Ages, a period marked by the rise of parish churches in the countryside.

The church's location at 3 Rue de Saint-Léger is attested by GPS coordinates and official sources such as the Merimée base. Although the details of its construction or sponsors are not specified, its status as a communal property and its early classification (early twentieth century) underline its heritage importance. The available data do not mention specific elements of its current use (visits, services), but its historical role was central to Perthes' religious and social life.

The Grand East region, formerly Champagne-Ardenne, was in medieval times a territory marked by agriculture, trade and feudal organization. Churches such as Saint Sebastian served as places of worship, community gathering and sometimes refuge. Their construction was often linked to local prosperity or seigneurial initiatives, although the archives for this specific monument do not provide additional details.
