Origin and history

The Hotel Jacqueron is an emblematic building located in Place François-Rude in Dijon, in Côte-d-Or. Originally built in the 15th century by Odinet Godran, it was partially transformed and embellished in the 16th century by Bénigne Jacqueron, master and then president of the Chamber of Accounts of Dijon. The latter decorated the facades and illustrated himself as patron, offering a silver altarpiece to the Sainte-Chapelle de Dijon.

In the 17th century, the hotel was completed by a courtyard building, now protected with the stair tower. In 1925, the city of Dijon acquired the monument and demolished parts to align Place François-Rude, highlighting the remaining tower. It, covered with varnished tiles, and the 17th century building, were listed as historical monuments in 1927.

The altarpiece offered by Bénigne Jacqueron, Le Retable de la Manne, is now preserved at the Museum of Fine Arts in Dijon. The hotel thus illustrates the civil architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries, marked by patronage and subsequent urban transformations.
