Hôtel Chambellan

This flamboyant Gothic mansion dating from the 15th century bears witness to the wealth of a family of merchants in the drapery trade, a very lucrative business in the Middle Ages as everything was made from cloth. The hotel belonged to Henri de Chambellan, one of the great officers of the French crown, i.e. one of the most important figures in the state in the 16th century, who was also mayor of Dijon from 1490 to 1493.
On entering the Hôtel Chambellan, after passing through a long rib-vaulted corridor, you can admire a two-storey wooden gallery linking the two parts of the building.
At the top of the stone staircase, you can see a statue of a gardener carrying a basket from which ogival vaults emerge. The Chamberlain's coat of arms can also be seen on the façade, but the figures supporting it are not children.
This is a private building, so please respect the owners' privacy and do not try to push open the doors.
Access on foot only from 34 rue des Forges.
