Origin and history
The House of Obedience is a building located in Chablis, in the department of Yonne, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, it bears witness to the medieval civil architecture of the region. Its name evokes a function related to obedience, probably religious or administrative, although the sources do not specify its exact initial use.
The building was listed as historic monuments on March 12, 1959. This protection specifically concerns its facades, roofs, as well as a press in the courtyard, accompanied by the building that houses it. These elements suggest a link to wine-growing activities, essential in the economic history of Chablis, renowned for its wines since the Middle Ages.
The location of the house is attested to at two addresses: 22 rue Louis-Bro and 2 rue de l'Église (formerly rue de l'École). This duality may reflect urban changes or census errors. The building, still visible today, offers an overview of the built heritage of medieval Burgundy, in a city marked by its wine and religious history.
