Origin and history

The building on 2 rue de la Prefecture in Dijon is an iconic 18th-century building, typical of Burgundy civil architecture of this time. Its facade on the street and its roof, protected by a decree of 24 June 1943, illustrate the know-how of the local masterpieces, including Linassier, identified as responsible for the works. This building, now owned by a private company, bears witness to the urbanisation of the Dijon under the Old Regime, marked by economic growth and architectural embellishment.

The location of the building, in the historic centre of Dijon, reflects its importance in the urban fabric of the time. The rue de la Préfecture, close to administrative institutions, often concentrated bourgeois residences or buildings with official vocations. Registration for the Historic Monuments in 1943 underscores its heritage value, although the available archives do not specify the original uses of the building (housing, commerce, etc.).

The geographic data associated with this monument indicate a location accuracy deemed "passable" (note 5/10), with an address confirmed by GPS coordinates. The Creative Commons photo license credited to François de Dijon allows a free distribution of his image, contributing to his cultural visibility. The lack of details about historical occupants or subsequent transformations, however, limits the understanding of its evolution since the eighteenth century.
