Origin and history

The Hotel Coeurderoy is a Dijon mansion built in the 15th century by Jehan de Mazilles, squire and captain-châtelain for the Saulx family, as well as advisor to Duke Philippe le Bon. This first building, of which remains a vaulted cellar in flamboyant Gothic style, passes at the beginning of the sixteenth century to Saulx-Tavannes, which preserves it until 1693. That year, Gabrielle Joubert de Barrault, widow of the Marquis de Tavannes, gave him to Étienne Coeurderoy, president of the requests of the parliament of Burgundy, marking the beginning of a major architectural transformation.

In the 18th century, the hotel took its present form in U, organized around a courtyard closed by a pilaster door surmounted by a carved cornice. The openings, with wrought iron grilles or curved frontons, reflect the classical style of the era. In 1773 François Cœurderoy, son of Stephen, sold the estate to Jean Perard, a councillor in parliament. Without an heir, his sister Henriette Perard and his descendants, the Charpy de Jugny and the Counts of the Park, held him until the middle of the 20th century.

The park, surrounded by the Tivoli rampart, houses a horse-drawn iron staircase and ornamental niches. Ranked a historic monument in 1950, the hotel preserves traces of its successive owners, from the Mazilles (XV century) to the Park (XX century), while illustrating the architectural evolution of the Dijonnaise, from the flamboyant Gothic to Burgundy classicism. Today managed by a civil society real estate, it bears witness to the aristocratic and parliamentary heritage of Burgundy.
