Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 1 Rue Verrerie in Dijon is a historical monument built in the 15th century. This building, typical of Burgundian medieval civil architecture, is distinguished by its facades and roof, protected by a decree of inscription dated 6 March 1950. Its location in the heart of Dijon, a city marked by a rich medieval heritage and reborn, makes it a witness to the urban and architectural evolutions of the region.

Registration for the Historic Monuments underscores the heritage value of this building, although the available sources do not specify its original use or its potential historic occupants. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the databases, indicates an approximation in the GPS coordinates, the official address being confirmed as 1 Rue Verrerie. This type of house, common in medieval city centres, often reflects the social status of its owners, linked to the flourishing artisanal or commercial activities in Burgundy at that time.

The Burgundy-Franche-Comté region, and more particularly Dijon, was in the 15th century a major economic and cultural crossroads, under the influence of the Dukes of Burgundy. Bourgeois or artisanal houses, like the one on Rue Verrerie, played a central role in urban life, sheltering both houses, workshops and commercial spaces. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the spatial and social organization of medieval cities, as well as the evolution of construction techniques.
