Origin and history

The Hotel Le-Compassesseur-de-Courtivron is a civil building from the 3rd quarter of the 16th century, located in Is-sur-Tille (Côte-d-Or). Ranked as Historic Monument, it illustrates bourgeois residential architecture of the late Renaissance in Burgundy. Its facades and roofs, inscribed by decree of 27 July 1979, bear witness to constructive techniques and a decorative style specific to this period.

The location of the hotel, 22-26 rue du Droit-Brulet, corresponds to an urban area probably marked by the economic boom of the region in the 16th century. At that time, Is-sur-Tille, like other Burgundy towns, was integrated into a dynamic commercial and artisanal network, where private hotels reflected the social status of their owners. These residences were also used as reception and administration places for local elites.

The available data do not specify the identity of the sponsor or the exact uses of the hotel over the centuries. However, its protection under the Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), suggesting margins of uncertainty about its exact location in current cartographic sources.
