Origin and history

The building located in Dijon, Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by its location on the Place de la Libération, formerly Place d'Armes, a central place of the city. This building is recognized as a Historic Monument, with specific protections: its roof was inscribed by arrest on November 21, 1925, while its façade was classified on July 6, 1937.

The Liberation Square, where this building is located, has always been a strategic point of Dijon, both military and social. In the 17th century, Dijon was a dynamic city, marked by its administrative and commercial role in Burgundy. The buildings of that time often served as residences for local notables or merchants, reflecting the economic and cultural prosperity of the region.

The successive protections of this building, including its roof and facade, underline its heritage importance. These conservation measures were designed to preserve the architectural features of the 17th century, a period when Baroque art and architecture began to influence civil constructions. The building remains a tangible testimony of this time, although its current use is not specified in available sources.
