Origin and history

The building at 4 rue Porte-aux-Lions in Dijon is a 15th century civil building. This building, typical of the Burgundian architecture of the late Middle Ages, is distinguished by its street façade and roofs, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments since 1943. Its location in the historic centre of Dijon, near the former fortifications, suggests a role in medieval urban life, although its original uses are not specified in the available sources.

The protection of the building in 1943 reflects the heritage interest brought to the remains of the Burgundy era, marked by the Duchy of Burgundy and its cultural influence. Porte-aux-Lions Street, mentioned in the Middle Ages, was probably a major access route in the closed city. Today, the building illustrates the civil architectural heritage ofijon, complementary to religious or military monuments more often highlighted. No information is available on any historic owners or occupants.
