Origin and history

The building at 27 rue Crébillon in Dijon is a building dating from the second half of the seventeenth century. It is distinguished by a wooden door with two vants, an architectural element protected by a ministerial decree of 6 January 1938. This detail demonstrates the importance attached to the preservation of the interior or exterior decorations characteristic of this period in Burgundy.

The location of the building, in the historic centre of Dijon, reflects the town planning under the Old Regime. At that time, private hotels and bourgeois houses multiplied, often decorated with woodwork or carved stone facades. These buildings served both as residences for local elites and as symbols of their social status.

Registration for Historic Monuments underscores the heritage value of this building, although available sources do not specify its original use (housing, commerce, etc.). The accuracy of its location is assessed as fair (note 5/10), suggesting minor uncertainties about its exact location in the archives. A photo licensed by Creative Commons, attributed to François de Dijon, documents his current appearance.
