Origin and history

The house at 3 rue de la Chaudronnerie in Dijon is an emblematic building of Renaissance civil architecture, built during the 3rd quarter of the 16th century. This monument is distinguished by decorative elements typical of this period, including its Renaissance-style skylights and an ornamental niche. Its listing in the inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of 16 January 1947 emphasizes its heritage value, specifically protecting its roof and architectural elements.

The location of this house in the historic centre of Dijon reflects the urban and economic importance of the city in the Renaissance. At that time, Dijon was a major commercial and cultural hub in Burgundy, attracting artisans, merchants and artists. Bourgeois houses like this bear witness to the architectural dynamism and social status of their owners, often linked to the prosperous trades of the time, such as metallurgy or commerce, as suggested by the name of rue de la Chaudronerie.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm its exact address and its Insee code (21231), attached to the Côte-d'Or department.
