Origin and history

Hôtel d'Orsenne, also known as Immeuble d'Orsenne, is a civil building located at 12 rue Jean-et-Bernard-de-Lattre-de-Tassigny in Autun, in the department of Saône-et-Loire. Built during the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, it illustrates the bourgeois architecture of this period, marked by sober and elegant lines. Its listing in the Historical Monuments Inventory in 1971 concerns all its masonries and roofs, highlighting its heritage value.

The location of the building, in the city centre of Autun, reflects the historic importance of this city, a former educational capital under antiquity and prosperous city in modern times. Although the sources do not specify its initial use, this type of private hotel was generally intended for an affluent family or a notable personality in the region. The available data do not mention sponsors or architects, but its state of conservation has justified legal protection.

The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the building in an urban area today marked by a varied architectural heritage. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be fair (note 5/10), and no information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, etc.). The photographs available, licensed under Creative Commons, show a characteristic 18th century facade, but their author remains unknown.
