Origin and history

The building at 11 rue Vieux-Collège in Dijon is a 17th-century civil building, typical of bourgeois architecture of this period. It is distinguished by its protected interior elements, including a fireplace and a ceiling with painted flooring, witness to the craftsmanship and decorative taste of the period. These characteristics motivated its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 19 April 1944, highlighting its heritage value.

The location of the building in the historic centre of Dijon reflects the urbanization and growth of private residences in the seventeenth century, a period marked by the development of cities and the affirmation of local elites. Although the accuracy of its current location is considered mediocre (note of 5/10), its official address and GPS coordinates allow it to be located in the Old Collège district, an area full of history. The building is now owned by a private company, which limits its accessibility to the public.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a Historical Monument and provide administrative details, such as its Insee code (21231) and its membership in the Côte-d'Or department. The Creative Commons license associated with François de Dijon's photo allows a free distribution of his image, contributing to his reputation. However, no information is available on its current use (visits, rentals, guest rooms) or on any historic owners or occupants.
