Origin and history

The house at 4-6 Stéphen-Liégeard Street in Dijon is a 15th century building, typical of Burgundian medieval civil architecture. Its location in the historic centre of Dijon, then capital of the Dukes of Burgundy, reflects the urban and economic importance of the city at that time. The facades and roofs on the street, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 29 December 1983, illustrate constructive techniques and decorative styles in vogue during this period.

At the time of its construction, Dijon was a major trade and political hub in Europe. Bourgeois houses, like this one, often served as residences for local merchants, artisans or notables. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and urban organization of medieval Burgundy, marked by a prosperity linked to the trade of wine, sheets and spices. These buildings also reflect the evolution of architectural tastes, between Gothic tradition and early Renaissance influences.

The partial protection of the house (facade and roof) in 1983 underscores its heritage value, although its present state and precise uses (housing, commerce or other) are not detailed in the available sources. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the Merimée base, suggests a geographical identification to be refined.
