Origin and history

The house at 23 rue Verrerie in Dijon is a 16th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It has been classified as a Historic Monument since a decree of 22 September 1943, which specifically protects its facade on street and roof. This ranking reflects its historic importance in the historic centre of Dijon, a city marked by a rich medieval and reborn past.

The location of this house, in the department of the Gold Coast, makes it a representative example of bourgeois or artisanal dwellings of the Burgundy of the Renaissance. At that time, Dijon was an economic and cultural hub, thanks in particular to its role in the trade in wines and textile products. The houses of this period often reflect the prosperity of their owners, as well as stylistic influences from Italy or Flanders.

Available data indicate that the exact address of this monument is sometimes subject to approximations, as evidenced by an alternative location at 4 Bis Rue Chaudronerie. This impreciseness can be explained by urban changes or transcription errors in archives. In spite of this, the house remains a point of interest for the study of the Dijon heritage, thanks in particular to its protection under the Historical Monuments.
