Origin and history

The building is located in Dijon, at the corner of Babeuf Street, Prefecture Street and Ernest Renan Square, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is representative of bourgeois civil architecture of this period, with a facade and roof protected by a decree of inscription in 1943. These elements, typical of the Dijon heritage, reflect the stylistic evolutions between classicism and the first influences of the Enlightenment.

The location of the building in the historic centre of Dijon highlights its integration into an urban fabric marked by political and administrative power. The rue de la Préfecture, in particular, evokes the proximity of the institutions, while the Place Ernest-Renan recalls the subsequent urban transformations. The inscription in the title of the Historical Monuments in 1943 demonstrates the desire to preserve this heritage in the face of the risks of modernization.

Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm its status and precise location (Insee code 21231, Côte-d的Or).
