Origin and history

The Saint-François-de-Sales School is an emblematic building located in Dijon, in the Côte-d'Or department in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. Built in 1541, it combines architectural elements from the 2nd quarter of the 16th century and the first half of the 19th century. This monument is distinguished by its chapel and small 16th century pavilion, whose facades and roofs have been protected since 1975.

The construction of the school in 1541 is attributed to the Swiss architect Charles, whose name remains associated with this historic building. The chapel, as well as the facades and roofs of the 16th century pavilion, were listed as historical monuments by order of 29 October 1975. Today, the building belongs to an association and retains an important place in the architectural and educational heritage of Dijon.

The official address of the school, registered in the Mérimée base, is 5 rue du Lycée in Dijon. This site, marked by a median historical location (accuracy noted 5/10), reflects the urban and educational evolution of the city. Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected monument and its role in local history.
