Origin and history

The building in the 8th Place de la Libération (formerly Dijon Square) in Dijon is an emblematic 17th century building. It is distinguished by its representative architecture of this period, with a facade and roof protected by the Historical Monuments. The roof was inscribed by decree of November 21, 1925, while the façade was classified on July 6, 1937, highlighting its heritage importance.

The location of this building, on a central square in Dijon, reflects its role in town planning. In modern times, public squares such as this were used as a gathering place, a market place or a demonstration of power, often lined with prestigious buildings. The buildings of that time were usually built for bourgeois families or local notables, thus participating in the social and economic structure of the city.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), suggesting minor uncertainties about its exact location. A photograph by François de Dijon, licensed Creative Commons, illustrates this monument, while official sources (Mérimée base, Monumentum) confirm its address and protected status. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors.
