Origin and history

The Maison du Mouton, located in Châteauneuf-en-Auxois (Côte-d'Or), is a 16th-century monument. It is distinguished by its Renaissance civil architecture, with a main façade decorated with a turret, typical of the bourgeois houses of this period. The building has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1970, protecting its façade and roof.

Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, medieval village perched, was a strategic place in Burgundy. In the 16th century, the region was marked by a rural and artisanal economy, where bourgeois houses like this reflected the prosperity of some inhabitants. These buildings often served as residences for local notables or merchants.

The protection of the Maison du Mouton in 1970 underscores its heritage importance. The registration order specifically mentions the street façade and the turret, emblematic architectural elements. Today, it remains a testimony of the urban history of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.
