Origin and history

The Hotel at 22 rue de la Prefecture in Dijon is an emblematic monument of the 16th and 18th centuries, reflecting the architectural evolutions of these periods. Its inscription as Historical Monument by decree of 29 December 1978 protects key elements: the facade and roof on street, the painted decoration of the porch and stairwell, as well as a Renaissance fireplace located in the cellar. These features illustrate the mix of styles and construction techniques unique to Burgundy, between medieval heritage and classical influences.

The authorship of the building is attributed to Jacques Cellier (or Celerier), who is identified as a prime contractor, although the sources do not specify his exact role in the transformations or initial construction. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base and GPS coordinates, places the Hotel in the historic center of Dijon, a district marked by civil and religious heritage. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be "passible" (note 5/10), suggesting margins of uncertainty about its exact location or geographic boundaries.

The protected elements, including the Renaissance fireplace, underline the historical importance of the cellar, often associated with domestic or artisanal uses in the mansions of the time. The painted decor, typical of the Burgundy interiors of the 17th and 18th centuries, could reflect local artistic influences or orders from wealthy families. The absence of details on the current use (visit, rental, guest rooms) suggests a mainly heritage vocation, without documented tourist exploitation.

Insee code 21231 links the Hotel to the municipality of Dijon, in the department of Côte-d This geographical context places the monument in an area rich in classified buildings, where civil architecture borders major religious groups such as St.Bénigne Cathedral. The Creative Commons license associated with François de Dijon's photo indicates a desire for cultural dissemination, although available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not provide detailed archives of his history or occupants.
