Origin and history

The Gauthier Hotel is a mansion emblematic of 17th century Dijon architecture. Built around 1642, it stands out for its location at the corner of Place des Cordeliers and Rue Charrue, in the historic heart of Dijon. Its style reflects the classical influences of the period, with particular attention to facades and roof, elements now protected.

The hotel was designed by architect Pierre Le Muet, a notable figure in the area of 17th century French architecture. This monument illustrates the know-how of the masterpieces of this period, where private hotels became symbols of prestige for bourgeois or aristocratic families. Its designation as historic monuments in 1971 reflects its heritage and architectural value.

The facades on Rue Charrue and Place des Cordeliers, as well as the entire roof, were officially protected by an order of 20 October 1971. This official recognition preserves the original features of the building, while providing an overview of Dijon's urban planning and civil architecture under the Old Regime. The Gauthier Hotel remains a notable example of Burgundy heritage, accessible today for visits or cultural events.
