Origin and history

The house at 10 Monge Street in Dijon is a 15th-century building, typical of Burgundian medieval civil architecture. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished by its oratory, inscribed by ministerial decree on 4 January 1929. Its exact location, although subject to approximations (noted 5/10 in precision), is associated with the official address of the Merimée base, while being geolocated near Brulard Street.

The 15th century in Burgundy corresponds to a period of prosperity for Dijon, then capital of the Dukes of Burgundy. Bourgeois houses, like this one, often reflected the social status of their owners, sometimes incorporating private religious elements such as oratories. These domestic spaces bear witness to the individual piety and influence of the Church in daily life, in an area marked by economic and cultural dynamism, particularly under the impulse of the ducal court.
