Origin and history
Hotel Coeurderoy is a private hotel located in the heart of the village of Moutiers-Saint-Jean, in Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built probably in the seventeenth century, it belongs to the Coeurderoy family, whose name it bears. The building is distinguished by its oblong plan and terraced garden, extended by a green space adorned with a nymph, characteristic elements of the aristocratic residences of the time.
The monument is partially protected under the Historical Monuments: its former garden was classified by decree of 2 March 1937, while the facades, roofs, the enclosure tower, the terraced garden and the nymph were inscribed on 29 November 1996. These protections highlight the heritage value of the ensemble, both for its architecture and for its landscape developments.
The Hotel Coeurderoy is part of the rural Burgundy context of the 17th century, a period marked by the influence of wealthy local families, often linked to the dress or the Earth's nobility. These residences reflected their social status while playing a role in the spatial and economic organization of the villages. The garden, with its nymph, also illustrates the importance attached to the spaces of representation and leisure in the houses of that time.
