Origin and history

The building at 8 rue Porte-aux-Lions in Dijon is a 15th-century building. This monument, listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments since 1943, is distinguished by its facade and roof on street, protected by ministerial decree. Its architecture reflects the characteristics of the late medieval period in Burgundy, a region marked by dynamic economic and cultural activity.

The location of this building, in the historic centre of Dijon, suggests its integration into a dense urban fabric, typical of the Burgundy towns of the Middle Ages. At that time, such buildings were often used as housing for merchants or artisans, thus participating in local social and economic life. The protection of its façade and roof reflects its heritage interest, although the available sources do not specify its original use or potential occupants.

The inscription in the title of the Historical Monuments in 1943 underlines the desire to preserve this architectural heritage, representative of the 15th century Dijon. The current data do not allow to trace its detailed history, but its exact address (8 rue Porte-aux-Lions) and its Insee code (21231, Côte-d-Or) confirm its anchoring in the historic heart of the city. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), depending on the sources consulted.
