Origin and history

The Hotel le Compasseur de Sassenay is a private hotel located in the preserved area of Dijon, 3 Berbisey Street. Built in the second half of the 17th century and redesigned in the 18th century, it embodies the aristocratic architecture of this period. Its facades, roofs, as well as a staircase and interior decorations of the eighteenth century, were protected by two successive inscriptions to historical monuments, in 1928 and 1947.

The 1928 protection specifically concerns the 18th century staircase and scenery, while the 1947 protection extends to facades and roofs. These elements reflect the evolution of heritage criteria in the 20th century, highlighting both external structures and interior developments. The hotel is part of the urban landscape of Dijon, a city marked by a rich civil and religious architectural heritage.

The building is referenced in the base Mérimée under the code Insee 21231, corresponding to the commune of Dijon in Côte-d'Or. Although its access to the public is not specified, its central location and protected status make it a significant part of the Dijon heritage. Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its importance in local urban history, without providing details about its historical occupants or its original function.
