Origin and history

The home of Théodore de Bèze is a medieval dwelling in the village of Vézelay, in the department of Yonne. Built in the 15th century, it is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with facades and roofs protected since 1992. The building is now listed as historic monuments, reflecting its heritage significance.

This place is best known as the birthplace of Théodore de Bèze, born on 24 June 1519. This Protestant theologian, a major figure in Calvinism, marked the religious history of the Renaissance. The house, though modest, thus symbolizes an intellectual and reformative heritage.

Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its inscription in 1992 for its facades and roofs (cadastre AB 37). Located at 47 rue Saint-Étienne, it remains a point of interest for lovers of Protestant history and medieval Burgundian architecture.
