Origin and history

The building at 6 rue Porte-aux-Lions in Dijon is a 15th-century civil building. It is part of the architectural heritage of the city, marked by this late medieval period, where Dijon was a major political and economic center under the influence of the Dukes of Burgundy. Its style reflects the characteristics of bourgeois or artisanal architecture of the time, although precise stylistic details are not described in the available sources.

Ranked a Historic Monument, this building saw its street façade and roofs protected by a decree of 17 September 1943. This protection reflects its heritage interest, although the specific reasons for this registration are not explicitly detailed. The building is now a private property, and its current use (housing, rental, or other) is not specified in the documents consulted. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), suggests an approximation in the available coordinates, without altering its historical importance.

The rue Porte-aux-Lions, where the building is located, evokes by its name the former fortified enclosure of Dijon, whose doors or defensive elements marked the urban topography. Although the direct link between this building and these fortifications is not established in the source text, its location recalls the medieval context of the city. The data are mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, without reference to archives or complementary architectural studies.
