Origin and history

The Hotel de Buyer is a private hotel located at 102 Grande-Rue in Besançon, Doubs department. Built in the late 17th and 18th centuries, it is distinguished by its house structure, interior decorations and courtyard, which have been listed as historical monuments since 1997. The building rests on a property belonging to the family of Laborde Monpezat, before being rebuilt by the family Courchetet d'Esnans, then modified by Claude-Joseph de Buyer.

The original property, including a house, a courtyard, a barn and a garden, was left in 1621 by Jean de Laborde to his nephew Léonard. Destroyed, it was sold in 1670 to François Elyon Courchetet d'Esnans and Jean Bauquier, who rebuilt the main house. In the 18th century, the building was enlarged and raised by Claude-Antoine Colombot for Claude-Joseph de Buyer, provost general of the maréchain, whose family kept the hotel until the 19th century.

The architecture combines two housing bodies connected by a wing in return for square, with iron staircases and false cupolas with zenithal lighting. The living room and library, from the Louis XV period, have remarkable panels. In the 20th century, the cochère driveway was closed, and part of the garden was sold to the city in 1969 to enlarge the Theatre Square. The ensemble, including facades, roofs and decors, has been protected since 1997.
