Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house located at 4 rue Buffon in Dijon, Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a historical monument whose protection specifically concerns its monumental gate and its vantaux. This architectural element, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1928, represents a remarkable example of the urban heritage of Dijon. Although the details of its construction or historic occupants are lacking, its classification reflects its heritage value recognized by the authorities.

In the Dijon context of the early twentieth century, bourgeois or artisanal houses, like this one, played a central role in urban life. Their location in the city centre, close to churches (like nearby Saint Michael's Square) or places of commerce, reflected a social organization where housing was involved in economic activities. The monumental doors, often designed, symbolized the social status of the owners or the craft vocation of the places, without precise archives allowing a specific function to be assigned to this house.
