Origin and history

The building in Dole, Jura (39) is a 17th-century civil building. It is distinguished by its stair turret on courtyard, a remarkable architectural element that led to its inscription in title of Historical Monuments by order of 18 March 1947. The precise address, 14 Place Nationale (or 10 Place Nationale Charles de Gaulle), places the building in the heart of the city, in an area probably marked by urban planning of this period.

The protection of the staircase turret underlines the heritage importance of this element, typical of the bourgeois or urban buildings of the seventeenth century in Franche-Comté. At that time, Dole, the former capital of the region, was a major administrative and judicial centre, which explains the presence of a quality building. The buildings of this period often reflect the economic ease of their owners, as well as regional stylistic influences, sometimes mixing local traditions and external contributions.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm the location and partial protection of the building. However, the practical information on access (visit, rental, etc.) is not specified in the data consulted. The accuracy of the location is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), indicating a reliable geographical identification, but without further details of its current state or contemporary use.
