Site historique
Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne
Dijon · Côte-d'Or · Bourgogne-Franche-Comté
The Palace of the Dukes and States of Burgundy, located in Dijon in Côte-d'Or, is an architectural ensemble that bears witness to several centuries of regional history. Built progressively from the 15th to the 18th century, it combines the old ducal residence rebuilt under Philip the Good from the 15th century onwards and the palace of the States of Burgundy built from the 17th century onwards. Unified by Jules Hardouin-Mansart around a courtyard of honor and the Place de la Libération, it preserves the Tower of Philip the Good, a symbol of ducal power. The palace houses several institutions today, including the town hall, the fine arts museum, and the municipal archives. The ducal kitchens and the guards' hall, a former grand reception room, remain visible within the museum, while the 18th-century Chapel of the Elected and the States rooms are accessible during events or through guided tours.
